John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has arrived in Goaso to kick off his two-day campaign tour of the Ahafo Region. This region is known for its rich natural resources and resilient communities, and Mahama believes it has tremendous potential for growth and development.
During his #Mahama4Change2024 tour, Mahama will outline his vision for transforming the Ahafo Region’s vibrant agriculture, mining, and forestry sectors. Despite the region’s wealth of resources, it faces significant challenges, including poor infrastructure, bad roads, and escalating poverty levels.
Mahama’s plan for Ahafo focuses on empowering farmers through improved access to modern farming techniques and financial support via Farmer Services Centres. This will enable farmers to thrive and contribute significantly to the economy.
Mahama aims to create sustainable employment opportunities for Ahafo’s youth by investing in local industries, particularly mining and agro-processing, as part of his 24-hour economy initiative. This will help reduce unemployment and foster economic growth.
The 24-hour economy initiative seeks to boost Ahafo’s local economy through business development, growth, and job creation. This initiative will transform Ghana into a self-sufficient and export-led economy.
Mahama has pledged to upgrade roads, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions, recognizing the critical importance of a strong infrastructure network for accessibility and better services.
To ensure environmentally sustainable practices, Mahama promises to promote responsible exploitation of natural resources, protecting the environment for future generations.
Mahama’s healthcare plan includes implementing a free primary healthcare program and establishing the Ghana Medical Care Trust Fund to support treatment costs for individuals with chronic diseases.
By addressing these key areas, Mahama and the NDC aim to unlock Ahafo’s potential and bring prosperity to its communities.
Mahama’s campaign tour represents a concrete step towards making his vision for Ahafo and Ghana a reality, with a focus on fiscal discipline, reduced government expenditure, and prudent financial management.
