Council Chairman of RECAS calls for the construction of the Bongo-Balungo-Namoo road to boost enrollment

In a speech delivered at the 6th congregation and 7th matriculation ceremony, Ing Samuel Avaala Awonnea, the council chairman of ReCAS (Regentropfen College of Applied Sciences), made a passionate plea to the government to prioritize the construction of the Bongo-Balungu-Namoo Stretch road. Awonnea emphasized the vital role this infrastructure development would play in increasing enrollment in the school and promoting overall growth and development in the Kansoe community.

Addressing the graduating class, Awonnea acknowledged the founding president and the college itself for their unwavering courage and resolve to bring about positive change. He highlighted the institution's mission to foster social change, entrepreneurship, poverty elimination, and bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. The council chairman also stressed the significance of quality tertiary education and its ability to transform the challenges faced by the region into advantages, benefiting not only the college but also the entire community and beyond.

Pointing out the importance of accessibility in education, Awonnea emphasized that the construction of the Bongo-Balungu-Namoo Stretch road would greatly enhance transportation for both students and faculty, facilitating easier access to the college and ensuring their safety. He highlighted the numerous difficulties currently faced by students traveling long distances on dilapidated roads, which often led to delays, accidents, and even dropout rates.

Awonnea further elaborated on the potential economic benefits of the road construction, stating that it would not only create jobs for the locals but also support local businesses and promote trade within the community. He emphasized the positive ripple effect that improved infrastructure could have on the overall development of the region, attracting investments, and encouraging socioeconomic growth.

In his speech, Awonnea acknowledged that the college had made significant strides in providing quality education, evidenced by the increasing number of students graduating and achieving academic excellence. However, he emphasized that without adequate infrastructure, such accomplishments would be limited in their impact.
