Anloga (V/R), July 10, GNA – President Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has inaugurated a GH¢2.5 million shopping centre at
Anloga in the Keta Municipality.
It was built with an Urban Development Grant
and has 26 stores, two banking halls, six offices and a cafeteria.
Construction works on the centre began in 2015
and got completed in 2017.
The President, who was on a three-day working
visit to the Volta Region, said the completion and commissioning of the
facility for use proved government’s commitment to complete projects started by
the past administration.
He also officially opened a 100-bed Major
Courage Quashigah Hostel for the Keta Nursing and Midwifery Training School.
He said more students were going to benefit
from the free Senior High School policy, this academic year, with the enrolment
figure expected to hit 180,000 – twice, last year’s total.
President Akufo-Addo underlined the
government’s determination to construct a harbour at Kedzi and called for the
support of all.
He drew attention to the importance of the
National Identification exercise and said it was critical to the country’s
rapid socio-economic development.
He therefore asked the citizenry to give
strong backing to the project, by making sure that they registered for the
Ghana Card.
He repeated that the government was not
interested in disenfranchising anybody.
President Akufo-Addo, accompanied by the Volta
Regional Minister, and some Ministers of State, paid a courtesy call on Togbui
Sri III, Awomefia of the Anlo State, where he was welcomed by an enthusiastic
crowd.
Togbui Sri commended the President for his
policies, and entreated him to bring them to fruition for the development of
the country.
The President, as part of the tour, would
interact with the chiefs in the region, inspect projects at the University of
Health and Allied Sciences main campus at Sokode Lokoe, near Ho, and a Youth
Centre Project in the Adaklu District.
He is also expected to inspect portions of the
Eastern Corridor road project between Hohoe and Jasikan, and cut sod for an
irrigation project at Torgome in the Ketu North Municipality.
