Physical Facilities

Although the District Directorate was established as far back as 1959, its offices are in temporal accommodation, which is an abandoned Cocoa office. Officers are crowded in their rooms.  There are four rooms in all.  The accounts section occupies two rooms, detached from the main office block.

There are thirty nine (39) sets of office chairs and tables.  The Directorate has only eight computers donated by the USAID, for the Planning and Statistics Unit.

The Director’s office is now air-conditioned with new office furniture.  None of the front – line Assistant Directors has an official accommodation. The office accommodation needs immediate attention for expansion.

The office has only one (1) official vehicle in use to run day to-day work of the district.  The district, in critical transportation situations lives on the benevolence of the District Assembly for one or two vehicles to transact duties.  There is the need for G.E.S, donors and development partners to assist the office repair its second vehicle.
