THE people of Likpe Traditional Area have embarked on an electrification project for all basic education schools with the view to facilitating the study of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the area.
Under the project, nursery, primary and junior high schools will be wired and connected to the national grid at an estimated cost of GH¢ 95,000.
The Chairman of the Lekoryi Festival Planning Committee, Dr Kwame A.Q. Aboagye, announced this at a meeting to discuss issues pertaining to the celebration of the festival, which is scheduled for April 3, this year.
He said the project was the target for the celebration of this year’s festival at Likpe-Mate.
The necessary surveys had been completed, he noted, adding that more than 15 schools were earmarked to benefit from the project to be undertaken by a competent electrical contractor in 10 communities.
The communities are Mate, Abrani, Bala, Kukurantumi, Agbosome, Koforidua, Avedzeme, Bakwa, Todome and Nkwanta.
Dr Aboagye appealed to all prominent citizens of Likpe and corporate entities to support the project since it would bridge the gap between education delivery in the urban and rural areas.
“Our schools should be ready for the digital age”, he declared, and said a special fund- raising session would be held on the durbar day and urged all citizens of the area to take part in the festivities.
He said the festival had the theme, “ Tourism in Likpe” and was a signal of the intention of the traditional council to promote Likpe as a major tourism destination in the country.
Some identified tourist sites are the ancestral caves at Todome, Likpeto, Wajakli Waterfalls, Umekoko, the Togo-Atakora Mountain Range and River Dayi.
Another attraction is the culture of the people such as rites of passage, puberty rites and food fairs.
