Famous Ghanaian-American comedian Michael Blackson commissioned an ultramodern school complex in his hometown of Agona Nsaba on Tuesday, January 3, 2022, to improve the quality of education in the region.
The school will serve the less-privileged kids in the community and its environs.
Last year, the comedian confessed that he was in a position to give back to his community, which is why he decided to build a school in the Central Region. He asserted that he had come to a place in his life where he could now affect the lives of many people and the less fortunate of society, notably the lives of children.
At the inauguration ceremony to commission the school, Michael stated that the school will offer free tuition for all wards.

Nice. Wonderful infrastructure! A little more grass and less gravel though. The children could get hurt while running and playing.
Ato Kwamena (@atoNueki) remarked:
Which will cost less should the Govt try to build the same facility. These are people who the president should be welcoming not musicians who offer nothing
Nana Osei Kojo-Pabi AK-0002276 (@pharders) added:
I’m sure Ghana slay queens did not sight this man when he first touched down, especially those working as journalists, like dem no go allow him to build this.
