Old Ningo (G/A), Sept. 19, GNA – Mr Jonathan
Teye Doku, the District Chief Executive for Ningo Prampram has assured the
people of Ningo that the construction of the sea defence wall in the area would
start before the end of the year.
He said the project was expected to begin
after President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had cut the sod during his tour of the
Greater Accra Region to savage the 12-kilometre coastline of Ningo from the
devastating effect of sea erosion.
Mr Teye Doku gave the assurance when he
addressed the chiefs and people of Ningo at a durbar to climax their Homowo
Festival celebrations this year.
Manklalo Nene Kanor Atiapah III, the Acting
President of the Ningo Traditional Area in an address said: “One major
challenge we are facing as a people is the devastating effects of the sea
erosions claiming our lands and homes.”
Mr Ishmael Ashitey, the Greater Accra Regional
Minister urged the chiefs to stop the use of land guards and the multiple sales
of lands to ensure peace within the traditional area.
He said under the One District, One Factory
programme of the government, Ningo has been fortunate to get two factories
already in operation, namely; the Tomatoes Paste Factory at Afienya and a Steel
Company at Lakperku.
Other dignitaries at the occasion are Mr
Samuel Nartey George, NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo Prampram and Mr
Enoch Teye Mensah, the former NDC MP for the area, took turns to address the
gathering.
