We know you are trying to win the elections but can you slow down with the promises just a tiny bit?
Really, creation of a new region within the first six months? Won’t there be more important issues to solve?
NPP Flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo has reiterated a promise to carve a new region out of the Western Region to residents, promising to get it done within the first six months of being in office.
Nana Addo, currently on tour in the Region, made his pronouncement whilst speaking on SkyyPower Fm in Takoradi. Speaking on clamours for the region to be divided into two to more streamline the allocation of development resources, Nana Addo said the issue would be a priority for his administration, looking at the numerous benefits it is sure to reap.
“The whole process of regional and local government organization is with this spirit…you know that in Nigeria for instance, they had five regions, today they have 36, and everyone who has had an interaction with Nigeria, will acknowledge that it is a more effective structure they have now than they had before,” he said.
“So we are also considering our structuring which has been with us for some 25 or 20 years, to see whether we cannot improve the governance by rearranging and reorganizing some of these regions. It is in that context that the Western-north region will be created,” Akufo-Addo noted.
The opposition leader also added that other regions might also be created going forward.
“We are looking at the Oti Region in the Volta Region, and the possibility of the Mid-West region; so it is a whole process and we are looking at it,” he said.
“We want to get going as quickly as possible because having an efficient governance system will help the country, those in government and the citizens,” he added.
