Former President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to the people of Jomoro in the Western Region that, if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) comes into power, the next government will establish a petrochemical industry in their area.
The promise suggests a commitment to fostering economic development and creating job opportunities by leveraging the region’s potential in the petrochemical sector.
Such initiatives are often aimed at stimulating local economies, enhancing industrial growth, and addressing the specific needs and aspirations of the community.
That, he said, formed part of measures to expand the oil and gas industry.
Mr. Mahama, the flagbearer of the NDC for the 2024 general elections, was addressing the chiefs and people of Jaway-Wharf in the Jomoro Municipality as part of his two-day visit to the region, dubbed; “Building Ghana Tour.”
He also hinted of building an ultra-modern market in Jaway-Wharf to boost trade and revive commercial activities in the once vibrant town.
He assured the chiefs and people of an asphaltic road overlay to modernize the area and aid trade.
The former president is expected to address a town hall meeting at Ambainu in the Ellembelle District and address students at the Esiama Nursing Training School.
He will later hold another town-hall meeting for the chiefs and people of Evaloe-Adjomoro Gwira Constituency at Axim.
