Mahama Vows to Finish Abandoned E-Blocks, End Taxpayer Waste in Ghana

President John Mahama has pledged to complete abandoned E-Block school projects across the country, signaling a renewed push to address infrastructure gaps in the education sector. He made the remarks during his ongoing tour of the Upper East Region, where he commissioned an E-Block facility as part of his engagements in the region.

Vowing to End Taxpayer Waste

President Mahama said his administration had made funds available to complete 30 of the facilities this year. According to him, any project in which the government has sunk money already, and if it is not finished, it is a waste of the taxpayer's money. "In this year's budget, we made provision for the completion of thirty of the abandoned E-Blocks. And so we are going to finish the E-Blocks that we started in batches," he said.

Expanding Access to Secondary Education

The E-Block facilities form part of the Community Day Senior High School (CDSHS) project, which was introduced under John Mahama's first administration to provide modern educational infrastructure and increase access to secondary education, particularly in underserved communities. According to President Mahama, completing the abandoned facilities would help expand access to quality secondary education and provide an improved learning environment for students. He expressed optimism that the completion of the 30 E-Block facilities would contribute to improving access to secondary education and help reduce pressure on existing schools.
