Speaking at the event, Mr George Mireku Duker said although the construction of the road has started, the contractor could not complete it earlier due to some challenges.
However, he said the contractor assured him that the project will be completed in November, assuring the school that by that time, they will have their roads tarred.
Although he is not an old student of TARSCO, he noted that at his Alma Mata which is Adisadel College, the old students took it upon themselves to build infrastructure and support the school and that has contributed to its current state.
Mr George Mireku Duker therefore encouraged the Tarkwa Past Students Association (TARPSA) to emulate same, in order to uplift the school to the preferred standard.
As the Tarkwa-Nsuaem MP, he noted TARSCO placed about 11th on the league and expressed worry over their performance.
He therefore urged the students to do more so that they can place first on the table during the next West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
