The 1999 students of Prempeh College are celebrating 25 years after completing school in 1999 and have marked their silver jubilee.
The 1999 year students’ association has marked the occasion with two massive projects worth millions of Ghana cedis for the school.
As part of the celebration, the Amanfoɔ 99 group commissioned and handed over a fully furnished, newly built three-bedroom teachers’ bungalow to the school authorities.
Previously, the group had intervened to solve a 15-year water supply challenge facing the school. They installed 16 horsepower water pumps, a 15,000-liter water tank, and revamped all non-functional water sources, providing a comprehensive solution to the problem.
The celebration was attended by a majority of the Amanfoɔ 99 group, both from Ghana and the diaspora.
Notable dignitaries included Nana Bediako Brogya Sarpong, Dompiahene of Agogo traditional area and a member of the Amanfoɔ 99 year group, the current headmaster of the college, Rt. Rev. Louis Asare, Mr. Nketia Michael, President of the Amanfoɔ 99 year group, and many more.
The group took the opportunity to express their gratitude and reward some of their former teachers who made a significant impact on their educational journey at Prempeh College.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nketia Michael, the president of the year group, stated that the projects, fully funded by the Amanfoɔ 99 group, were necessary due to the school’s accommodation shortage for teachers.
The group recognized the need for more teachers on campus to facilitate their activities and support the college’s education. The three-bedroom bungalow was completed in approximately three months.
The headmaster of Prempeh College, Rt. Rev. Louis Asare, expressed his gratitude on behalf of the school authorities to the Amanfoɔ 99 group and urged other year groups to emulate such gestures.
