The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has assured that the Ghana government would ensure holistic and sustainable development of the Kroboland and urged the people of the Traditional Area to foster unity through culture.
He announced that approval had been given for the establishment of a Mango Juice Processing, Honey Processing, Poultry Feed Production and Cement Processing factories in the Krobo Traditional Area.
He said government had already undertaken a number of development projects in Kroboland and more would be done by the Akufo-Addo-led Government in the ensuing years.
Vice-President Bawumia made the announcement in Odumase Krobo on Friday when he joined the chiefs and people of Manya Krobo in the Eastern Region to celebrate this year’s Ngmayem Festival, on the theme: "Preserving Our Cultural Heritage for Sustainable Development."
He said the Government was doing its best to provide the basic socio-economic infrastructure to improve the lot of the people and mentioned government’s flagship initiatives such as the ‘Planting for Food and Jobs’ and ‘One District-One Factory’, which are aimed at ensuring the growth of agriculture in communities across the country.
