Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia <\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has given firm indication that government will soon build ten fish landing sites along the coastal areas of Ghana for the benefit of fishing communities.<\/p>\n

The Vice President of the Republic, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia made the announcement on Saturday, 6th July, when he joined the people of Elmina to celebrate the 2019 Edina Bakatue festival to mark the beginning of a fishing season.<\/p>\n

Celebrated under the theme, \u201cBuy made in Ghana goods; use goods made in Ghana and promote jobs for the youth\u201d, Dr. Bawumia lauded the paramount chief of Elmina, Nana Kodwo Conduah VI, and the chiefs and people of Elmina, saying that the theme for this year\u2019s celebration was timely because it is line with President Akufo-Addo\u2019s vision of building a Ghana Beyond Aid, where we harness internal resources for the development of our country.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Addressing the durbar, Vice President Bawumia said the government\u2019s inclusive development agenda is designed to improve the quality of life of all Ghanaians regardless of geographical, religious or ethnic affiliations.<\/p>\n

Currently at Elmina, sod has been cut for work to start on the Elmina Heritage Bay project. The first phase of this project is currently ongoing with enhanced durbar grounds and a reverential garden under construction.<\/p>\n

Touching on the fish landing sites Dr. Bawunia stated that \u201cas part of the broader government agenda to provide fish landing sites along the coastal communities, funding for ten such fish landing sites has been secured and works shall begin soon. The ten sites where the landing sites\u00a0and related facilities will be constructed include: Teshie in the Greater\u00a0Accra\u00a0Region, Axim and Dixcove in the Western Region, Elmina, Winneba, Mumford, Senya-Bereku, Fetteh-Gomoah and Moree in the Central Region and Keta in the Volta Region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMeasures to protect the coastline from the erosive effects of the sea has led to\u00a0 government constructing sea defense walls along the coast\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Navy and Marine Police are also being assisted to beef up patrols to ensure that perpetrators of illegal fishing are dealt with, Vice President Bawumia indicated\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bawumia urged Edinaman to take\u00a0 advantage of the numerous social interventions introduced by the Akufo-Addo government.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge the people of Elmina to take advantage of the interventions provided under the Planting for Food and Jobs, Rearing for Food and jobs and Planting for Export and Rural Development (PERD) programmes:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo my gallant farmers, in our effort to produce more let us not forget about the future generations. We must do everything possible to protect and preserve our environment for their use\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cChainsaw operations remain a serious threat to the environment. The uncontrolled use of pesticides and weedicides is also a serious threat to the environment and our health. I urge our Agriculture officers to intensify the education on use of the chemicals.\u201d Vice President Bawumia added.<\/p>\n

The Vice President was grateful to the people for the cooperation from all stakeholders and assured them of government\u2019s continous effort to have such collaboration in many other fields in a mutually beneficial manner.<\/p>\n

On behalf of his people, Nana Kodwo Conduah VI, Omanhen of Edina Traditional Area, praised the government for the Elmina Heritage Bay Tourism Project and called for all to unite to accelerate development in Elmina.<\/p>\n

He also commended President Akufo-Addo for the numerous social interventions introduced in the past two and a half years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
