The Agona Swedru Traditional Council has released land for the construction of an ultra-modern ICT training centre for the youth of the area.
The centre is meant to enhance quality education especially in the area of research for students and teachers.
At a brief ceremony to pour libation to dedicate the land acquired for the construction of the ICT centre, the Paramount Chief of Agona Swedru, Ogidigram Okrupi Nana Aseidu II was optimistic that the project would motivate many students to learn new things to improve their knowledge.
The Agona Swedru ICT centre was supposed to be built in last two years after funding was raised during the two previous Akwambo Festival by the Chiefs and people of the area.
However, the ICT project was delayed by the inability of the traditional council to secure a good land for that purpose.
Meanwhile, the traditional council of Agona Swedru has constituted a new Committee to oversee the planning and execution of the 2019 Akwambo festival which is scheduled to come off from August 11th to 18th, 2019.
The Committee is made up of distinguished personalities from the town including; Hon. Apostle Emmanuel Coffie (Chairman), Mr. Sam Anthony (Vice Chairman), Elder Samuel Eduful (Secretary) and Ebusuapanyin Kwaku Essoun (Treasurer).
The jubilant youth of the area commended their leaders for such an important initiative which sought to empower the youth educationally.
They pledged their support towards the project by offering themselves for any labour work.
