Benjamin Siripi Quartson, expressed appreciation to the MP and MCE for their commitment to improving educational infrastructure in the municipality.

Quartson for selecting Boffourkrom as the destination for his first official field engagement. He also wished the Municipal Director of Education a successful tenure in the municipality.
