Following the emphatic victory of the incoming president of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, Ghanaians living in some towns where JDM’s abandoned E-blocks are located have organized communal labour to work on the facilities.
This, according to the information available to us, is a gesture of goodwill to help the incoming government easily access these facilities and operationalize them.
In a post sighted by GhanaEducation.org on Facebook, some youth could be seen weeding the environment around the school buildings.
A message accompanying the pictures read:
“Ghana is healing. Ghanaians are restoring JDM’s abandoned E-blocks, bringing back hope and progress. Together, we build the future.”
Some Ghanaians who have reacted to the gesture have called on all elected MPs who have such facilities at various levels of completion in their constituencies to organize their constituents to visit these facilities and clean them up for completion. This gesture of communal labor will help reduce the cost of preparing such places for renovation and completion.

Alex Ahadzie, reacting to this, said,
“Please appeal to all NDC MPs to see this as an example and do the same in their constituencies. Well done to those people.”
Other Ghanaians have spoken positively about this action and believe the gesture is a sign that change is indeed coming and has arrived. They expect Ghanaians to change their attitudes and mindsets as well in the new era of governance promised by the president-elect, John Dramani Mahama, so that the nation can reset and revive itself for growth and development.

“Proper free education is coming; stay tuned. JDM all the way!”
Joseph Odartey Laryea commented:
“Well done. Those closer to such facilities should emulate this example.”
Tri Vibez expressed:
“Game on. I blame old folks and our Ashanti people who don’t tell the truth but always lie. Now the youth are reasoning. This is our land, not yours, old folks.”
Moses Barima Djimatey shared:
“A sad spectacle. While this offense to the conscience of the nation was being perpetrated, some who were privileged could only see the need for a needless cathedral aside from the huge edifices they had already built for their denominations. They saw nothing wrong with this. Posterity—oh, Posterity shall judge all of us!”

God bless you all for taking such an initiative. Long live JDM, the NDC, and Ghana. John the Builder is in town!
Restoring JDM’s abandoned E-blocks being cleaned must be encouraged and supported.
