District Chief Executive (DCE) Peter Mensah revealed that
the area is benefiting from three of such projects and rallied the support of
residents in the realization of the dream of these projects in order to
succeed.

This he noted is in line with President Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo’s vision to transform Ghana’s economy through industrialisation by
creating jobs for the teeming masses.

Hon Peter Mensah who toured project sites to see the level
of work done, observed that the establishment of a poultry feed processing
factory under the Kingdom EXIM group of companies, a vegetable processing plant
and cold rooms for the processing of Onion, tomato, pepper and the revival of a
defunct cashew processing plant by Ghana Nuts Company which would be into Shea,
cashew nut and soya bean processing when completed would provide jobs to the
teeming unemployed youth of the area.

District Chief Executive is optimistic that the 3 factories
would be in operation by the close of the year, stating that they will add
value to the local economy, raise the Assembly’s revenue as well as improve the
area’s security.

“In entering here, I must say that I am so surprised and overwhelmed with what has been done within this short space of time and this is an indication that these projects would be completed on time”. Mr. Peter Mensah said.
