In order to ensure the overall and sustainable development of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia,the Vice President, promised that the government will support the establishment of mango juice factories in Kroboland.
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.
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.
Under rural electrification programme, works are underway to connect some communities to the national grid. A district police headquarters has been constructed, which would soon be handed over to the Odumase Police Command.
A 52-km feeder road in the middle belt of Obopah to Obelemanya, Ayensu Ako to Gortsonya is also being constructed while the Akuse Town road also was receiving routine maintenance, Dr Bawumia said.
On the education front,the Vice President said all four senior high schools in the Municipality had recorded increases in enrolment with the introduction of the Free Senior High School (SHS) programme, which had reduced the financial burden on parents while providing increased access to second cycle education for the Ghanaian youth.
The Manya Krobo area is also benefiting from the construction of a Community-based Health Planning Services (CHPS) compound, with a new community health training school set to open soon, he said.
