Yendi Municipal Assembly to get three more SHSs

Yendi Municipality is to get three out of the 200 Senior High School projects government has promised to build across the country.

Government in fulfilment of its 2012 campaign promise has started building 200 additional Senior High School projects.

This is meant to increase enrolment at the senior high education level and to ease the tension which characterizes the computer placement system.

As the only assembly with Municipal status in the Northern Region, the Yendi Municipality can only boast of two Senior High Schools. These are the Yendi Senior High and Dagbon State Senior High/Technical schools.

Municipal Chief Executive for Yendi, Issah Zakariah told Citi News that plans are far advanced to build three additional Senior High Schools in the Yendi Municipality.

He described the only two Senior High Schools in the whole Yendi Municipality as woefully inadequate.

He said the new schools will be located at Nakpachei, Bunbong-Naayili and Gnani which are all farming settlements.

According to Issah Zakariah, the assembly is providing the identified communities with the needed amenities like water, electricity and good road network.
