President Akufo-Addo bidding the people of Central Region goodbye<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said the successful
\nimplementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) program and
\nthe prudent measures put in place to address its associated challenges has left
\ncritics with nothing to talk about.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were many who doubted that we can actually roll out
\nthe free SHS we promised Ghanaians. Many people especially those from the
\nopposition said it was just a promise to win votes, but I also told them it was
\nnot for votes but my resolve to build a strong human resource base for the
\ncountry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving successfully implemented the free SHS, they have
\nnothing to talk about, I was expecting them to come out to commend me but they
\nare quiet. The truth has been separated from the lies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Addressing the people of Cape Coast on Thursday as part of
\nhis three-day tour to the Central Region, the President indicated that starting
\nSeptember this year, every Ghanaian child from KG to SHS would enjoy free
\neducation.<\/p>\n

The intervention, according to him would propel Ghana onto
\nthe path of progress and development.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he said, the One District One Factory concept
\nwould also bring economic empowerment to the people of Ghana, stressing that it
\nwas only through industrialization that the country could achieve the desired
\ndevelopment.<\/p>\n

He said his government remained committed to creating jobs
\nfor the teeming unemployed in the country.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo catalogued a number of road projects
\nthat would be undertaken in the Cape Coast Metropolis under the first phase of
\nthe synodro project which included Ayifua, Apewosika, Ankaful, Kwaprow,
\nEbubonko and Bessakrom roads.<\/p>\n

He appealed to the people of Cape Coast to prepare adequately
\nto receive the many Africans from the Diaspora who would be visiting for the \u201cyear
\nof return\u201d event, for them to always want to come back.<\/p>\n

He noted that Cape Coast as an ancient town had great tourism
\npotentials and expressed the readiness of the Government to invest in the
\ndevelopment of the town to become a tourism capital, not only in Ghana but the
\nwhole of West Africa.<\/p>\n

Osabarima Kwesi Atta II, Omanhen of Oguaa Traditional Area,
\nrevealed that efforts were being made to modernize the Ancient City of Cape
\nCoast and implored Government for support in that direction.<\/p>\n

He complained about the poor roads within the Cape Coast
\nMetropolis and appealed to the Government to fix them.<\/p>\n

The Omanhen commended the President for the flagship programs
\nincluding the free SHS, which had come as a great relief to many Ghanaian
\nparents.<\/p>\n

Osabairma Kwesi Atta called on the people of Cape Coast and the whole of Central Region to get involved in the celebration of PANAFEST, Emancipation Day and the year of return.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
