\"\"<\/a>Government has for the past three years allocated 384 projects to the Upper West Region with 301 of them being completed and impacting positively on the lives of the people.<\/p>\n

Alhaji Issahaque Salia, Regional Minister made this known during the \u201cMeet the Press\u201d series in Wa on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He said the education sector benefited from 164 projects, with 141 of them completed while work is on-going on the remaining 23 projects.<\/p>\n

He expressed dissatisfaction about the poor performance of students in the Basic Education Certificate Examination and called for concerted efforts to improve on the situation next year.<\/p>\n

He said chieftaincy disputes had been a source of worry to the security of the communities as many vacant skins are yet to be filled, while some are being contested in court and other mediation sources.<\/p>\n

Alhaji Salia said 17 armed robbery cases had been recorded this year as against 21 last year while vehicular accidents claimed 44 lives within the period.<\/p>\n

The Regional Minister announced that government had spent GH\u00a22.5 million on the maintenance of some culverts, while major work are ongoing on the Tumu-Sisili, Nadowli-Lawra- Nandom and Wa-Hain roads.<\/p>\n

He said 6,908 farmers had cultivated 4,461 hectares of sorghum, soyabeans, rice and maize under the Block Farming concept and about 8,500 metric tonnes expected from the crop yield.<\/p>\n

About 792 farmers had also cultivated 451 hectares of various crops under the Northern Rural Development Growth Project,\u00a0which was estimated to yield 900 metric tonnes.<\/p>\n

Alhaji Salia said 1,000 hectares of land had been put into rice production under the Rice Sector Support Project.<\/p>\n
