Chief of Prestea-Hemang in the West Region Nana Nteboa Pra IV has described the $10billion “Big Push” infrastructure development plan by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a great agenda for the progress of the country.
“It is a good thing which will greatly help the country,” he said.
Nana Nteboa Pra IV made this remark when he welcomed NDC Running Mate Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang to his traditional area as part of the NDC Vice Presidential candidate’s campaign tour of the Western region.
The Prestea-Hemang Chief said they analyzed the party’s manifesto, found the Big Push to be well thought out, and are confident it would significantly help the country when implemented.
He was also delighted that the party’s manifesto covered some of the infrastructure, economic and welfare needs of his people and commended the NDC for putting together such a comprehensive document.
“You have thought about us, and so we shall also remember you on voting day,” he said.
Nana Nteboa Pra IV also expressed optimism that the party’s plan to regulate the Okada transportation and the provision of free technical and vocational education would have beneficial outcomes for Ghanaians.
In addition to the NDC’s plans for the area, the chief urged the party to consider facilitating the establishment of a nursing training school and a satellite campus of the university of Mines and Technology in the area to enhance the health as well as the employability of the youth.
The Prestea-Hemang Chief also asked for a new hospital for the area, as their current 50-bed capacity hospital, built in 1929, is in a state of disrepair and could no longer adequately serve the health needs of the residents of the town with a population of over 70,000.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, who arrived in the town to a rousing welcome, thanked the chiefs for their support and encouragement, saying “the NDC shall not disappoint you.”
The NDC Running Mate noted that the party is conscious of the needs of Ghanaians and would continue to offer quality leadership for all-inclusive development when it returns to power.
