Mahama Pledges Urgent Action to Address Schoolchildren’s Dangerous Journey Across Water Body
Former President John Dramani Mahama has assured residents of Asuokow in the Eastern Region that swift action will be taken to resolve the dangerous conditions schoolchildren face when crossing a water body to attend school.
In a Facebook post, President Mahama acknowledged the plight of young learners who risk their lives daily due to the lack of a safe passage.

He emphasised that removing barriers to education is a key aspect of his broader vision to Reset Ghana.
“We have identified the community where young schoolchildren have to cross this water body to access school,” Mahama stated.
His comments came after the Member of Parliament for Lower West Akim, Owen Kwame Frimpong, visited the affected community earlier in the day.
According to Mahama, the Eastern Regional Minister is also expected to assess the situation as part of efforts to provide a lasting solution.
Mahama reiterated his commitment to ensuring equal access to education and healthcare across the country, stressing that challenges like this should not exist in modern Ghana.
“Our quest to Reset Ghana includes a determination to remove barriers to education and healthcare across the country,” he added.
The plight of the Asuokow community highlights the ongoing infrastructural challenges in rural areas, where children often face significant hurdles in accessing basic education. Many residents have called for immediate intervention, citing the potential risks associated with crossing the water body, particularly during the rainy season.
With Mahama’s assurance and ongoing discussions at the regional level, the community remains hopeful that a permanent and urgent solution will soon be implemented to safeguard the lives and future of its young learners.
