John Dumelo’s 2026 constituency projects span scholarships, school construction and trader support

Ayawaso West Wuogon MP John Dumelo has spent 2026 backing a range of projects and donations in his constituency, according to a report that follows his outreach work under the hashtag “idey4u.” Dumelo, who also serves as Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, won the parliamentary seat in the 2024 general elections. One of the year’s most ambitious initiatives is the John Dumelo Scholarship Scheme. The first group of students reportedly left Ghana for Russia on October 27 on fully funded scholarships. More than 40 students are said to have benefited, with the scheme intended to help them continue their education abroad. Education projects also feature prominently in Dumelo’s constituency work. On August 5, he cut the sod for a new day senior high school at Pantang. The report says the land was secured from the EP Church Ghana and that Dumelo and friends are funding the project. He set a nine-month construction target, with the first students expected in September 2027. Plans include a library, science laboratory and other modern facilities. At the end of August, Dumelo donated replacement desks to Roman Ridge M/A Basic School after its old wooden furniture had become weak and unsuitable. Several classrooms received new desks, drawing commendations from Ghanaians, the report says. He also joined Municipal Chief Executive Dr Michael Mensah in January to break ground for an 18-classroom block at Dzorwulu Junior High School, a project being undertaken by the Assembly. The article describes it as the school’s first major infrastructure improvement in some time. More recently, on November 9, Dumelo provided support to small-scale business owners in Ayawaso West ahead of Christmas. He described the gesture as Christmas arriving early for residents and said the assistance was intended to help businesses prepare for the festive season. The report presents the education, school infrastructure and trader support as part of a broader year of constituency outreach.
