Government is on course to fulfilling
\nits campaign promise of relocating the operational headquarters of the Ghana
\nNational Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) to the Western Region.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The government has therefore,
\nacquired some acres of land close to the Ghana Secondary Technical School in
\nTakoradi to commence the construction of offices and ancillary facilities to
\nmake them fully operational in the Region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Relocating the GNPC\u2019s headquarters to
\nthe Western Region from its current location in Tema was a campaign pledge by
\nthe then opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the run-up to the 2016 general
\nelections.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

During one of his campaign tours of
\nthe region, the then opposition leader, Nana Akufo-Addo, told the people of the
\nWestern Region that the move would turn the Western Region into an oil
\nproduction hub for West Africa.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Addressing the Western Regional
\nCoordinating Council (RCC) meeting in Sekondi yesterday, the Regional Minister,
\nKwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah\u00a0mentioned that the promise would soon be
\nfulfilled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The RCC meeting was attended by the
\nMetropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDAs) as well as Heads
\nof Decentralized Departments in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He indicated that the Chief Executive
\nOfficer (CEO) of GNPC Dr Kofi Sarpong had dully been informed about the move
\nand he (CEO) had even visited the site near the Ghana Secondary Technical
\nSchool (GSTS).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Regional Minister stressed that
\nhe would use all within his power to facilitate the siting of the operations
\nheadquarters of GNPC in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also said that he would spearhead
\nthe construction of the Takoradi International Airport at Kejebil in the region
\nto provide direct link with the West African sub-regional and global
\nmarkets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said at the meeting that his
\noutfit would pursue the upgrade of Effia Nkwanta Hospital in Sekondi to a
\nTeaching Hospital by 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He noted that an investment centre
\nhad been opened at the Regional Coordinating Council to provide a one-stop-shop
\nfacilitation for investment and tourism promotion in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Regional Minister pointed out
\nthat his outfit would also provide an efficient passport acquisition and
\nbusiness facility in Sekondi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He told the meeting that the current
\ngovernment, despite the challenges it inherited, was tackling deficits in
\ninfrastructure, roads, railways, sea and airports among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then charged traditional
\nauthorities and the assemblies to leverage the business communities in their areas
\nof jurisdiction to leave behind legacy projects that could transform the
\npeople.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He charged the MMDAs to take corporate social responsible agreements with business entities to a higher level rather than the small amenities the assemblies themselves could provide.<\/p>\n
