Geo Anointing Construction Limited has once again locked the Galilea M/A Basic School in the Ga South Municipality due to the Ga South Assembly’s failure to settle an outstanding debt for a six-unit classroom block the company constructed.
The first closure occurred in October, following delays in payment. At the time, the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) assured the contractor that the funds would be released within two weeks. However, no payment has been made since.
The company’s spokesperson, Emmanuel Addo Okai, explained that repeated attempts to secure the owed funds from GETFund had been unsuccessful, leaving them no choice but to act.
Okai also warned the Ghana Education Service (GES) against forcibly reopening the facility, stating that any such action would result in legal consequences.
“We will not hesitate to take court action if the facility is broken into,” he cautioned
