NPP government would revamp dormant development programmes – Akufo- Addo

Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, the Presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has assured Ghanaians that his government will revamp all development initiatives that are currently lying dormant.

He said the National Health Insurance Scheme and the National Youth Employment programme were human development programmes rolled out by the NPP more than eight years ago but are currently ineffective and not serving their purpose due to mismanagement.

This, he said, had rather brought inconvenience and hardships to Ghanaians instead of creating an enabling environment for development.

Nana Akufo-Addo said this when he addressed members of the party at Garu in the Garu-Tempane District as part of his tour of the Upper East Region.

Nana Akufo-Addo said the NPP party was committed to developing more programmes such as reactivating the rice and leather factories in the Upper East Region and help in providing jobs for the youth.

He said the Party would also focus on empowering the educational sector such as revamping the vocational and technical institutions, health and agricultural colleges.

He assured the chiefs and people of the Bawku Traditional Area that the NPP Government would provide every community with a dam for irrigation farming in the dry season.

Nana  Akufo-Addo said he was a man of peace and would continue to support the Paramount Chief and his people to enjoy the prevailing peace, since it was the only tool that could create an enabling environment for coexistence.

The flag bearer called on the Bawku Naba Asigri Abugragoe Azoka, Paramount Chief of the Bawku Traditional Area and the people of Bawku to invest their confidence in him and vote for the NPP.

He was accompanied by his running mate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Mr Alan Kyeremanteng and other senior party officials.
