They were welcomed by the District Coordinating Director; Alhaji Shamrock Abdulai Gafaru and the Head of the Human Resource Department; Mr Benjamin Kwame Livingbird.
The District Coordinating Director made the presentation on the Local Government System of Ghana. His presentation highlighted on the overview of local government system, structure and composition of the Local Government System, personnel and functions of the local government system, general functions of the district assembly, sources of funds of the district assembly, the various committees of the assembly and challenges and limitations of the district assembly.
The students were also given a tour to all the various departments of the assembly where the core functions of all departments were reiterated to the students. The District Chief Executive for Denkyembour District Assembly; Honourable Seth Birikorang Ofosu also welcomed the students and teachers and urged all the students to learn hard and pass out with flying colours in order to benefit from the Free Senior High School policy from the government.
