The area under reference was acquired by the Government of Ghana for educational purpose.The reason for its acquisition has not changed and as such it cannot be rezoned and leased to private individuals.

You are, therefore, by this letter, directed to cease forthwith, the process of preparing leases on the land under reference to individuals.

The general public is also hereby warned against making any such moves to acquire either for their personal interests or any other persons or entities, any portions of the lands belonging to the Tendamba Primary School or any other educational institutions within the Wala State Traditional Area.

Anyone who does anything to the contrary after this press release does so at their own peril.

Thank you.
