Buipewura Jinapor (II) said; “I drive often through town and see people struggling to host their programs in cramped spaces, with the opening of the Chinchanko Community Centre, they can hold their events in a more convenient, well-equipped space”.
The Paramount Chief of the Buipe Traditional Area emphasized that although the project was funded from his personal resources, the centre belongs to the entire community. He further announced plans to add catering services to enhance the centre’s functionality.
He expressed his gratitude to his Council of Chiefs for their guidance and support in bringing the project to fruition.
The new centre is fully furnished with chairs, canopies, and sound systems, providing a complete package for community events.
