The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has assured that the party is dedicated to providing equitable development across all six regions established in 2019, including the Western North Region.
He stated that the NDC is uniquely positioned to transform the administrative establishment of the new regions into tangible and visible development that will enhance the living standards of the residents.
Mr Asiedu Nketia made these comments during a two-day thank-you tour of the Western North Region, where he engaged with traditional leaders, religious figures, party officials, grassroots supporters, and residents from various districts.
The tour included visits to Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai, Sefwi Wiawso, Bia West, Bia East, Juaboso, Bodi, Akontombra, Suaman, and Aowin.
While addressing residents in Juaboso, the NDC Chairman expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support the party continues to receive in the region, especially during what he referred to as challenging political times.
He assured the community that their loyalty would be reciprocated with significant developmental initiatives.
He revealed that plans are in progress to establish a nursing training college in the Western North, noting that major infrastructure projects currently being executed in other regions will also be extended to this area.
Mr Asiedu Nketia further contended that although the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was responsible for the creation of the new regions, it would require an NDC-led administration to fully develop them and ensure they achieve their maximum potential.
Meanwhile, the Chief of Sefwi Abrokofe, Nana Kwabena Yeboah II, speaking on behalf of the Chief of Sefwi Boinzan, expressed appreciation to the government for appointing the Member of Parliament for Juaboso, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, as Minister of Health, as well as the appointment of Nana Ofori Ahenkan II as Board Chairman of the Ghana National Fire Service.
He remarked that the appointments have started to produce favorable results for the district; however, he urged the government to promptly tackle the deteriorating condition of roads and the increasing youth unemployment, which he indicated continues to subject young individuals to social vices.
The Member of Parliament for Juaboso, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, reassured residents that the development of road infrastructure is a primary focus for the government.
He detailed the Juaboso Barrier–Bonsu Nkwanta road, along with several other essential roads that have been designated for rehabilitation.
