Member of Parliament for Gushegu, Hon. Lawyer Sulemana Alhassan Tampuli, has handed over two key educational facilities, a Dining Hall facility, and Girls’ Dormitory block to management of Gushegu Senior High School following successful completion of the projects.
The commissioning of the projects which took place on Wednesday, 14th January 2026 at the Gushegu SHS, aims to address infrastructural challenges faced the school which serve as a threat to learning environment of the students on campus.
The intervention by the MP became necessary when the Girls’ Dormitory block was destroyed by rainstorm, compelling them to pitch camp at the Dining Hall as temporal place of abode on campus, while also resorting to eating outside the dining hall due to infrastructural deficit.
This follows the MP’s initiative to rebuild the dinning hall too after it was also knocked down by a wind storm.
Addressing the students, the MP said ” I’m here to do two-in-one thing, because the dining hall that we had before was completely knocked down, it was nothing to write home about. So we have to rebuild the dinning hall entirely.Right from the scratch, we pulled all down and we raised it from the ground all the way to where it is right now today. Just as we were about to hand over the dinning hall, we had a disaster that struck the Girls’ Dormitory. So the girls have to be moved to the dining hall and the dining hall became the girls’ Dormitory and you don’t have have a dining hall presently.So you have been eating your meals outside.And that is not the appropriate thing.When I went to Tamasco I spent 5 years in Tamasco, I never for once ate outside so I don’t see why my lovely students will be eating outside”.
He further stated that “So I have to take quick steps to make sure that you go back into the dinning hall to secure your safety.Otherwise when it is raining, you are in the rains to eat, that is not proper. We owe you that responsibility. So as you are moving back to the your Dormitories you be freeing up the dinning hall for its appropriate use. So we are not just handing over the Girls’ Dormitory but we are also handing over the dinning hall to the school. So it is a two-in-one exercise we are undertaking today”.
At a short ceremony to hand over the projects to the school, Hon. Alhassan Tampuli reiterated his unflinching commitment to improving the infrastructure base of the school. While also with immediate effect donated 100 bags of cement, aimed at complementing the construction of the school’s fence wall as clear manifestation of his drive to develop the school most important solving its infrastructural issues.
On behalf of the students, the Girls’ Prefect of the school, in her speech heaped praises on the MP, conveying a profound gratitude to him for his intervention to mitigate their plight although she further asks for more interventions like Oliver Twist, as they are still in dire need of educational facilities.

Education leaders, policymakers, development partners and technology experts have renewed their commitment to advancing Africa’s digital education agenda following discussions at the 18th Ministerial Round Table focused on building sovereign, innovative and inclusive learning systems across the continent.
Delivering the keynote address, Ghana’s Minister for Education and Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, challenged African countries to move beyond dependence on externally developed digital education solutions and position themselves as global leaders in technology-driven learning.
He highlighted Ghana’s ongoing investments in digital education, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and curriculum reforms aimed at preparing students for the demands of the future economy.
According to the Minister, Africa’s digital transformation in education must be driven by locally relevant content, stronger institutions and equitable access to technology-enabled learning opportunities. He stressed the importance of ensuring that African learners benefit from educational systems designed to address the continent’s unique needs and realities.
Hon. Iddrisu further called for increased investment in AI literacy and the development of ethical frameworks grounded in African values, cautioning against a situation where the continent becomes merely a consumer of technologies developed elsewhere.
Also speaking at the event, UNESCO Representative to Ghana, Mr. Edmond Moukala, underscored the importance of foundational literacy in an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. He noted that core skills such as reading, writing, critical thinking and information evaluation remain essential building blocks for digital and AI competencies.
Mr. Moukala also advocated the establishment of public digital learning platforms that support teachers, safeguard data privacy and promote education as a public good accessible to all.
The round table concluded with a shared commitment among stakeholders to responsibly harness technology, strengthen partnerships and accelerate Africa’s education priorities through home-grown, inclusive and sustainable digital learning systems.
Participants agreed that collaboration among governments, development partners, educational institutions and technology experts will be crucial to ensuring that Africa’s digital education future is shaped by the continent’s own vision, values and aspirations.
