Street Academy holds special picnic to celebrate Ramadan
The Street Academy, a sports and cultural organization, on Monday held a special event to commemorate the Eid-dul-fitr celebration for underprivileged Muslim children in the Academy.
Director of the Academy, Ataa Lartey, told the Spectator that although there are only a few Muslim children in the Academy, it was important to also celebrate with them just as it’s done with the Christian children on their festive occasion.
It attracted a huge number of children from underprivileged communities who engaged in a number of fun activities and fete by the management of the school.
According to Ataa Lartey, the special Ramadan picnic was to give the children a taste of what the season was about and create the feeling that they were part of the national and international communities.
“In Ghana, we have the liberty to practise any religion of one’s choice. So, just as we celebrate with Christians, it is equally important to show similar love and care to the Muslim children from underprivileged homes,” he said.
“The Muslim children in the Academy would not be left out of the project. We make sure they also have access to all the benefits that comes to the academy. This is an opportunity to show love to them as part of the movement.”
“As children, apart from helping them with education and sports, we also imbibe in them social morals like being tolerant with each other and being one another’s keeper. If they are able to get all of these, Ghana will be a better place for all,” he said.
The Minister for Road and Highways, Kwame Agbodza has informed the Overlord of Dagbon that President Mahama is “ considering an ambitious project called ‘the Tamale Outer Ring Road.’
This project is aimed at boosting economic activities and improving vehicular movement in and around Tamale.
Speaking at the Gbewa Palace during a courtesy call on the Yaa Naa, Mr. Agbodza said the project aligns with the President’s vision to build better and lasting road infrastructure for Ghanaians.
The Minister indicated that he and his team of engineers are undertaking inspection tour to gather firsthand information on selected key projects to inform strategic decisions on improving the country’s road network.
The Minister later inspected progress of on the Daka Bridge at Yendi, the Tamale-Yendi-Tatale road, and the construction of a 60m span Bailey Bridge at Wapuli on the Saboba road.
The Yaa Naa lauded the government’s “Big Push” Initiative, describing it as a catalyst for transforming the country.
He encouraged the Minister to foster strong collaboration with stakeholders to ensure the delivery of quality road infrastructure nationwide.

Mr. Agbodza provided this assurance earlier today while leading a team of engineers to inspect the corridor as part of his working tour of the northern sector of the country.
