American rapper, Ja Rule has officially commissioned a six-unit classroom block in Nuaso, Eastern Region to mark the successful completion of his philanthropic project in the area.
The classroom block, which was an additional facility for the St. John’s Anglican Basic School in Nuaso was a collaborative project between the rapper and an international non-profit Pencils of Promise (PoP), to help improve educational facilities in Ghanaian schools.
The project saw its completion today, following its initial construction almost a year ago.

Education is something I’m really passionate about. Beyond classrooms, I want to build more facilities, including a gymnasium and other extracurricular spaces that will enhance learning for these kids.
Ja Rule is one of the many Diasporan blacks who find Ghana dear to their hearts, and to that effect embarked on projects to contribute. Previously, it was Michael Blackson who instituted the Michael Blackson Academy to offer free education to all children in the area of Agona Nsaba.
Meanwhile Ja Rule is set to headline the upcoming Hot 97 Summer Jam 2025 later this year along with his friends to honour the late Murder Inc. Records co-founder Irv Gotti, who died at 54 in February after suffering a stroke.
