The Awudome Senior High School (AWUSCO) has marked its 60th anniversary at Tsito in the Volta Region last week.
It was celebrated on the theme “60 years of quality education: benefits and relevance in contemporary times.”
The week-long celebration had activities such as a candlelight procession, inter-house competition, tree-planting, fashion night, health screening, football match, ‘borborbor’ night, talk on entrepreneurship and a fundraising dinner.
The grand durbar witnessed old students of the various year groups as well as continuing students and staff clad in the anniversary attire.
The Old Students Union of AWUSCO, OSUA also inaugurated an eight-bed capacity health centre for the school at the cost of GH¢1.6 million.
The Volta Regional Minister, Dr Archibald Yao Letsa, said the commitment of the old students to their alma mater had made AWUSCO one of the ‘sterling’ Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the region and the country at large.
He said the effort of the alumni was laudable, adding that the building of a health centre would benefit both students and indigenes of surrounding communities.
The National president of OSUA, Dr Leonard Amekudzi old students have brought on board their individual competencies which include skills, resources and time to serve their alma mater.
He mentioned that OSUA had embarked on a membership drive and currently have about 5,000 members across the country to gather resources to support several projects in the school.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
