\n Sunyani, Jan. 7, GNA – The Council of Bono and Ahafo Associations of North America (COBAANA) is to woo foreign investors into the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo regions for development.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
The COBAANA is an umbrella Association of the then Brong-Ahafo citizens\u2019 resident in North America.<\/div>\n
The Association said the Bono, Ahafo and Bono East regions had huge economic prospects and was exploring opportunities in North America to attract investors into Ghana.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are trying to bring home foreign manufacturing companies to create employment opportunities to enhance government’s revenue,\u201d the Association said in a statement signed by Mr Augustine Boahen, the General Secretary.<\/div>\n
The statement, made available to the Ghana News Agency in Sunyani on Friday, said: \u201cThe Bono, Bono East and Ahafo citizens in the diaspora are taking vigorous steps to support government\u2019s plans towards speedy socio-economic growth and development of the regions.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cFor Ghana to survive beyond aid is a shared responsibility, hence the need for everybody to contribute his or her quota to complement government’s efforts to facilitate national development.\u201d<\/div>\n
The statement said COBAANA would hold a homecoming convention in 2023, which would be attended by foreign investors and high powered delegations from Europe, to raise funds in support of development of the three regions.<\/div>\n
More than 500 delegates, including medical professionals, are expected to attend the convention, who would further embark on health outreaches and contribute to building health infrastructure projects.<\/div>\n
“As development partners, COBAANA counts on the three Regional Coordinating Councils to support its activities for the purposes of development,” it said.<\/div>\n
It called on the Government to create an enabling environment for the business sector to thrive and facilitate the completion of the rehabilitation and expansion of the Sunyani Airport.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
