From Richard Owusu-Akyaw.
The Jasboa Group of Companies has constructed a bridge, estimated to cost GH¢70,000, to the relief of residents of Offinso, Aboaso, and surrounding communities.
The bridge, when completed, will link towns like Kokote, Ampabame, Amoasu, Dome, and other communities in the Offinso South District.
It will also save the residents of Aboaso from erosion by the uncontrolled flow of water that washes the away top soil and creates a crater in the waterway making both human and vehicular movement from Kokote, Ayensu, and other towns difficult.
The Chief Executive Officer of Jasboa Ventures, Mr. James Kofi Boamah, a native of Offinso, indicated that the project, which comes as a corporate social responsibility, is being funded by the Jasboa international Foundation, an offshoot of the Jasbao firm.
He noted that erosion was negatively affecting transportation in the area, and so he decided to help the people, hence the construction of the bridge, which is currently, 70 percent complete. Mr. Boamah has also constructed a mechanised borehole for the people of Aboaso.
The Chief Imam of the Aboaso Muslim community, Alhaji Sulemana, also told the Ashanti File that Mr. Boamah had also funded the tiling of the local mosque. The Imam asked Allah’s blessing for Mr. Boamah and his family for rendering such support to the Muslim community.
The Municipal Chief Executive of Offinso South, Amankwah Kesse, lauded Jasboa for the relief the project had brought to the people, and urged other citizens to emulate the shining example of Jasboa Ventures.
