Operationalize Nakpayili E-Block for us – Residents beg Education Minister

Published on Thursday June 12 2025

The Assembly Member of Binda-Nakpayili Electoral Area in the Nanumba South District, Seidu Mohammed Iddris, has appealed to the government through the Ministry of Education to take steps by operationalizing the Nakpayili Community Senior High School under the E-Block project which has been purportedly completed by the immediate past government with some finishing touches.

The Assembly Member noted that the school will soon become an abandoned facility if GES, through the Education Ministry, does not put it into use to benefit students in the area.

The Nakpayili Community Day School was amongst over 100 E-Block projects initiated by the NDC under the First Reign of John Dramani Mahama in 2016 but was not completed as scheduled stalling its commissioning till today.

While the past government claimed to have completed the project, the facility has not been put to use by the government despite pronouncement by the Former Northern Regional Minister, Alhaji Shani Alhassan Sayibu to the effect that the community school would be operationalized as a Girls’ School serving students in the Eastern Corridor enclave.

A year has passed with the academic Calendar elapsing, and GES has not served any notice to operationalize the school to absorb students.

In this regard, the Assembly Member and Regent of the Traditional Area, as well as the residents call on the government to turn their ears to the concerns voiced out.

As part of his Eid al-Adha message of the year, Mr. Seidu Mohammed Iddris also lamented vehemently over the lack of adequate health facilities in the Nakpayili Community to help enhance access to healthcare delivery, underscoring the efforts made by community members to put up a health structure on their own through an institution of self help contributions.

According to the Assembly Member, even though they have made their own efforts to improve access to healthcare, it is not enough to complete the self-health project to meet the health needs of the people. Therefore, calls on philanthropists, NGOs, and the government to come to their aid.

The Regent of Nakpayili, Nyab Dibsi Gbanlana Shei Baba, held a cultural dance at the Community Palace to climax the Eid-Adha celebrations, aimed at fostering unity, social cohesion, and peace among the community members.

Speaking to the media after the celebrations, the regent of Nakpayili appealed to the Education Minister, Haruna Iddrisu to pay attention to their plight by finding a means to commission the school for students to use.

Following the cultural dance, the rich culture of Nanung was displayed, marking the significance of their cultural heritage and symbolizing their rich norms and traditional values.

The residents also echoed the grievances outlined by the Assembly Member but were quick to add deplorable roads impeding their efforts as farmers during post-harvest season as connectivity of their main link road to the Accra road leaves much to be desired.
