In a transformative moment for the Gomoa Central District, Mr. Francis Bullen Davor, CEO of Rock Africa Limited, has commissioned a state-of-the-art six-classroom block for the
Ekroful Primary (A) Basic School. The project, which replaces a previously dilapidated structure, was met with such profound gratitude that the local traditional leadership installed Mr. Davor as the Development Chief of Gomoa Aboso, Benso, Ekroful, and Akropong No. 2, under the stool name Nana Davor I.
The project was the result of a strategic partnership between Rock Africa and Mr. Francis Appiah-Amoh, a native of Ekroful who sought to fulfill his late father’s vision of educational upliftment for the four towns.
1. A "Smart" School for the 2026 Era
The new facility is not just a building; it is a modern educational hub designed to remove every barrier to student success.
2. The GH₵100,000 Maintenance Promise
Recognizing that many school projects in Ghana suffer from neglect, Nana Davor I announced a sustainable funding model:
-
Annual Seed Money: Rock Africa Limited will provide GH₵100,000 every year specifically for the maintenance of the building and its facilities.
-
Strict Monitoring: The District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr. Hackman Aidoo, has pledged that the Assembly will strictly monitor this fund to ensure it is never diverted, keeping the school in "new" condition.
3. Investing in "Human Capital"
Nana Davor I emphasized that quality education requires more than just bricks; it requires investment in the people.
-
University Scholarships: He pledged to sponsor 10 brilliant students to various universities of their choice, covering all costs to ensure the town produces future professionals.
-
Parental Guidance: He urged parents to remain focused on their children's studies, reminding them that the "better future" starts in the classroom.
4. A Legacy of "Mahama-Era" Education
DCE Hackman Aidoo commended the private sector’s involvement, noting that it complements President Mahama’s national plan to enhance education. He revealed that while Rock Africa built the new block, the Assembly has also renovated an older six-classroom block on the same premises to accommodate the growing student population.
"Our forebears had a vision, but it is through partnerships like this that we see it manifest. This school is now a lighthouse for the Gomoa Central District." — Nana Davor I (Francis Bullen Davor)
The Bottom Line
The commissioning of the Ekroful Primary (A) school block marks a major milestone in the 2026 "Big Push" for rural infrastructure. With solar power, specialized hygiene facilities, and a guaranteed GH₵100,000 maintenance fund, the students of Gomoa are no longer just studying—they are thriving.
