GHS11,000 Worth Bore Hole Constructed For Krugu Community

A bore hole and a church building has been constructed to cater for the Krugu community in Kandiga, a suburb of Kassena Nankana municipality of the Upper East region. 

The bore hole, valued at eleven thousand Ghana cedis is to provide the community with safe drinking water.
