GAS PROCESSING PLANT FOR DOMUNLI LAGOON (PAGE 42, AUGUST 19, 2010)

PLANS are far advanced for the construction of a gas processing plant near the Domunli Lagoon in the Jomoro District in the Western Region.
The Ghana National Petroleum Company has engaged surveyors who are now on the field demarcating the boundaries of a proposed site for the project.
The Jomoro District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Victor Nyianyi Kablan, announced this at the second ordinary meeting of the fourth session of the fifth assembly at Half Assini.
He said there was no doubt that the oil find would mark the turning point of the fortunes of the district.
Mr Kablan further announced that the Ministry of Health had approved the construction of a polyclinic at Elubo in the Jomoro District.
He said the assembly had identified a 30-acre land for the construction of the project, adding that preliminary works for the proper acquisition of the land had begun.
The DCE said in support of education delivery and as part of the government’s poverty reduction strategy, a total of 76,204 exercise books were allocated to the district.
He said the assembly, in collaboration with the district education directorate, had distributed the books to pupils in the various schools in the district.
Mr Kablan added that a total of 2,239 school uniforms of various sizes had been supplied to the district for distribution to the schoolchildren.
He said the assembly had also supplied 300 mono desks to some schools and 200 more were yet to be handed over by the contractor to the assembly for distribution to the schools.
Mr Kablan said the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) was financing a six-unit classroom block for the Half Assini Senior High School to absorb the increase in enrolment occasioned by the reduction in the duration of the Senior High School (SHS) from four to three years.
  He said the district assembly would provide a similar block for the Annor Adjaye SHS.
The Presiding Member of the Jomoro District Assembly, Mr Francis Ehwie Armah, urged candidates for the forthcoming district assembly elections to conduct their campaigns with utmost decency to avoid any breach of the peace which the district had been enjoying over the years.
