.
The DCE said the Assembly would work to improve upon existing facilities in the school.
The Principal of the school, Alhaji Osmanu Zakaria who received the donation on behalf of the school, expressed profound gratitude to the DCE and the government for the massive intervention in the school.
He said the school was the only Islamic Secondary school in the Western Region but was deprived and needed expansion.
Alhaji Zakaria said the school was faced with teething problems such a dormitory for the boys making their monitoring in town difficult.
The Principal added that the school had no staff common room, no library, no place of convenience, and an old bus making teaching and learning very difficult.
The Headmaster of the school, Alhaji Abudulai Sofiano said the school started as a private entity in 2008 and was absorbed by the government in 2012.
He thanked the DCE for the Swift response to the needs of the school.
