Founder and Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has announced plans to establish the largest skills development center in the entire West Africa sub-region, with a focus on the Volta Region.
This initiative is part of his regional development agenda, where each region would have a specific project aimed at improving the country’s economic status.
Mr. Kyerematen made this announcement during his Market Tour of the Volta Region, starting at the Juapong Market in the Central Tongu District. His tour is part of his campaign efforts ahead of the December 7 general elections.
During his visit, he promised to transform Juapong into an economic hub by reviving the Volta Star Textile factory, enhancing the market, and establishing a trader’s bank in the area.
Continuing to the Ho Central Market, Mr. Kyerematen urged traders to support him to make the region a hub for skills development.
In Mafi, he and his team met with Manklalo Togbe Brentuo Asafo IV, who expressed the need for a third political force in Ghana.
“We want to have a third force. We are fed up with the NDC and NPP. I am not condemning them, they have done what they could. They have too much time in power. We pray God makes him [Alan Kyerematen] the third force to govern us. The chiefs and people of Mafi are behind him”, he said.
Mr. Kyerematen affirmed this sentiment, stating that Ghanaians are calling for a change and a new leader to guide the country’s affairs.
“The majority of Ghanaians are looking for change. They are asking for a government of national unity, a union government which will not only be composed of people who are politicians. But all our stakeholders, including chiefs, religious men, and various people”, he said.
He also announced that the Volta Region would receive a significant portion of development projects under his administration to boost the region’s status. He highlighted the region’s potential in agriculture, oil and gas, tourism, and other sectors.
The Movement for Change team concluded their tour at the Sogakofe Market, reiterating their commitment to the region’s development.
