Setting the records straight in a press release, the chiefs noted that they have consistently supported local development and saw it fitting to commission a statue in honour of President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

According to the release, the various projects are aimed at enhancing the infrastructure and public services of the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cKey projects include the rehabilitation of the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, construction of a three-tier interchange in Takoradi, the resurfacing of the Tarkwa-Takoradi road, and the redevelopment of the Takoradi Market Circle,\u201d the release pointed out.<\/p>\n
The rest are the construction of the Dixcove Fishing Harbour, Axim Mini Harbour, Ezinlibo Forward Operating Naval Base, and the Atlantic Port in Takoradi.<\/p>\n
The release also mentioned the construction of a new regional hospital at Apimanim, district hospitals in Elubo, Bogoso, and Wassa.<\/p>\n
Others included polyclinics in Mpohor and Bokoro\u037e new hospitals in Nsuaem and Amenfi Central\u037e nine new court complexes and numerous CHPS compounds across the region.<\/p>\n
The chiefs indicated that about 760 kilometres of road have been constructed and upgraded in the region.<\/p>\n
They mentioned the new dual carriage from Takoradi to Agona Nkwanta, the development of the Takoradi Petroleum Services Platform, and the Railway University, as well as the ongoing railway expansion from Kojokrom to Huni Valley<\/p>\n
