President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says his government has worked tremendously hard to make sure the Ashanti Region sees numerous developments.
Speaking with the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at Manhyia Palace during the start of his 4-day working tour of the region, the President said his government’s work in the region is self-evident and at the end of his four-day tour even his most ardent critics would have to undeniably agree that he has worked for Asanteman.
“At the end of this four-day tour of the region, all will know that, indeed, Asanteman has benefitted significantly in terms of development.” Akufo-Addo said.
President Akufo-Addo indicated that “nearly 350 kilometres of Asphaltic Road network have been done in the Ashanti region. This is irrespective of the 100 kilometres being done in the Kumasi Metropolis and the other 100 kilometres being done with regards to urban roads. 32 separate hospital projects have been done in my time in the Ashanti region.”
Touching on the galamsey menace, the President stated: “I am also happy that the issue of illegal mining has become topical during my administration. Nobody spoke about it before I came, now I am happy that chiefs, including you, have all joined to see the fight to a good end. We have come to end and with your support, we will indeed succeed at it.”
For his part, Otumfuo indeed agreed and hailed the President for bringing development to the region.
“On the occasion of your four-day visit here, which has become a regular feature, I am happy you are here to inaugurate and inspect the projects undertaken by your government for all to see that, indeed, under you, Asanteman has benefited”, he said.
The traditional leader continued: “You have served us well and brought honour to Asanteman in the two terms that you have served as President. Therefore, I can only ask of the blessings of Almighty God and that of the ancestors for continued strength to serve Ghana.”
