Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is set to inaugurate Zoomlion Ghana’s waste recycling plant in Kperisi, Wa Municipality, on Monday, May 20, 2024, as part of his visit to the Upper West Region.
This inauguration will enable the plant to commence operations, aiming to enhance solid waste management in the region, particularly in Wa, which is struggling with solid waste issues.
The plant, established through a public-private partnership (PPP) between the government and the Jospong Group, will handle waste reception, sorting, and processing for the municipality and surrounding areas.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo previously broke ground for the construction of this solid waste treatment plant in Kperisi, expected to generate over 200 direct and indirect jobs upon completion.
Dr. Bawumia, who is also the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, will pay a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of the Wala Traditional Area and meet with the Muslim clergy in Wa, followed by a meeting with party members on Sunday, May 19, 2024.
The Vice President and NPP flag-bearer will also engage with the Christian clergy, the Upper West Regional House of Chiefs, and the youth on Monday, May 20, 2024.
