On Thursday, 11th September 2025, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ahafo Ano South West District Assembly, Hon. Abubakar Sedik, inspected works on the ongoing construction of a multipurpose park at Mankranso.
The project forms part of the DCE’s broader efforts to promote sports development and increase youth participation in sports across the district. According to Hon. Sedik, Mankranso is the first community to benefit from this initiative, with plans to extend similar facilities to other parts of the district.
During the inspection, the contractor for the project, Mr. Okyere, updated the DCE on progress, noting that grassing work on the park would be completed within two to three weeks. He further indicated that the entire project would be ready for use in about three months. He also appreciated the DCE for providing a borehole at the site, which will serve as a reliable water source to maintain the field’s greenery even during the dry season.
Hon. Sedik commended the contractor for the quality of work done so far but urged him to speed up progress to ensure timely completion and commissioning of the project. He assured residents that plans are in place to ensure effective management and maintenance of the facility for the benefit of all.
The District Feeder Roads Engineer, Engineer Charles Anku, who is supervising the project, also expressed satisfaction with the level of work executed. He assured the DCE of continued monitoring and supervision both during and after construction to guarantee a high-quality facility.
The Presiding Member of the District Assembly, Hon. Prince Oppong, who was present during the inspection, praised the DCE for his vision of promoting sports development in the district. He expressed optimism that the project would go a long way to unearth talents and provide a safe space for recreation, particularly for the youth.
