Teachers of Bongo Senior High School in the Upper East Region poured praises on a former headmaster of the school, Mr. Anthony Adimazoya for his stewardship during his tenure.

“The first time I heard there was money allocated to SRC activities, was when he came to school as a headmaster, called the SRC and their management, and gave them the money, that was the first time we heard that they was something like that from the government. He exhibited a lot of leadership skills that we will be missing. since he has gone on transfer but fortunately, he is not going out of the region. so, we will still tap some of the experience that he had”.
