The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has committed to developing a sea defence system and a mini harbour in Sege if elected as Ghana’s next President.
Addressing a crowd of chiefs, traditional leaders, and residents during his tour of the Greater Accra Region, Bawumia outlined his plan to combat the recurring damage from tidal waves affecting Sege and its neighboring areas.
He stressed that these infrastructure projects are crucial not only for mitigating environmental damage but also for boosting the local economy.
Bawumia emphasized Sege’s vital role as a fishing hub and argued that investing in a mini harbour will significantly enhance the fishing industry.
This infrastructure development aims to improve trade and market access for local fishermen and traders, supporting the community’s economic growth and stability.
“We need a mini-harbour. So we are going to work on bringing a mini harbour to Sege here for you and that is a very important thing. And then, of course, very important, we need to do the sea defence for this area.
“So I have a lot to do for you. If I come back in four years, I will have to give an account of what I have done with the sea defence.”
