“This is not the first time I am doing something significant for the people of Offuman. When I was the Minister for Tourism, Culture, and Creative Art, I awarded the construction of a dinning hall and a dormitory to a contractor and through that, Offuman Senior High School now has a dinning hall.
“However, the dormitory block hasn’t been materialized yet but I promised you that I will work on it and when the NDC comes to power, we will build a storey building as a dormitory for the Offuman Senior High School.” She said.
