Mrs. Akufo-Addo took to her Facebook page to share photos of the beautiful edifice, saying its coming into existence would help improve literacy among residents within its catchment area.
She added that through the “Learning to Read Reading to Learn” initiative her foundation has been able to establish libraries in Wenchi in the Bono Region, Sefwi Debiso in the Western North Region, Moree in the Central Region, Daffiama Bussie Issah in the Upper West Region and Amansaman in the Greater Accra Region.
According to her, the total number of libraries she has built across Ghana will come to eight after the completion of libraries at Bortianor in the Greater Accra Region and Dambai in the Oti Region.
