The donation of the mechanised borehole and others form part of plans to give the school a facelift without turning to the central government,” he added
Saddick Adams, sports Obama on the other hand also noted that the project only reaffirms their commitment to contribute to the development of the school from which they have benefited so much from.

The headmaster of the Asanteman SHS, Mr Nathaniel Antwi Asamoah, also revealed that the donation will improve sanitation in the school.
“Sometimes we were worried about the way students suffer in getting water at certain times but we are grateful that today, we had had an additional source but just like Oliver Twist, we always ask for more especially from our past students”, he said.
Mr Asamoah however called on the Old students Association to aid the school in acquiring an incinerator to deal with the increasing rate of sanitation as the number of students was increasing massively due to most students showing interest in the school
