Francis Addai Nimo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate hopeful, Hon. Francis Addai Nimo has called the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuo-Addo to review its campaign promises made in the build up to the last general election to make them achievable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe One District One Factory and One Village One Dam all can be reviewed so to make it achievable\u201d, he suggested in an interview\u00a0https:\/\/www.Africa-press.com\/ghana\/\u00a0monitored on Kumasi-based Nhyira FM\u2019s \u2018Kro Yimu Nsem\u2019 political talkshow.<\/p>\n

According to the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Mampong in the Ashanti Region, as civil engineer, government can establish one big factory or construct a big dam to serve more communities to cut down cost of government expenditure on these projects<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does not necessarily means every district should benefit from a single dam or factory. We can have one big dam to serve two or more communities or have a factory which can also serve two or more districts\u201d, Hon. Addai Nimo suggested.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne Dam One District and One District One Factory does not mean every community is going to benefit\u201d, Hon. Francis Addai Nimo revealed.<\/p>\n

Government\u2019s \u00a0\u2018One-District-One-Factory\u2019 programme is aimed at establishing, at least, one factory or enterprise in each of the 216 districts of Ghana as a means of creating economic growth poles that would accelerate the development of those areas and create jobs for the teeming youth.<\/p>\n

The policy aims to transform the structure of the economy from one dependent on production and export of raw materials to a value-added industrialised economy, driven primarily by the private sector.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo has said the initiative would propel the industrialisation agenda of his government at the district levels, as well as drive linkages to agriculture and other natural resources of the country.<\/p>\n

He said there could be no future prosperity for the people in the short, medium or long term \u201cif we continue to maintain economic structures that are dependent on the production and export of raw materials.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President observed that unless Ghana took to the path of industrialisation with the goal of adding significant value to its primary products like cocoa, gold and timber, \u201cwe cannot create the necessary numbers of high-paying jobs that will enhance the living standards of the mass of our people. Raw material producing economies do not create prosperity for the masses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must add value to these resources\u2026and we must industrialise,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
