The Supreme Head of the Berekum Traditional Area, Nana Dr. Amankra Diawuo, says that he is happy that the Akufo-Addo government has kept a promise that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia made to him and the people of Berekum.
Speaking at a chiefs durbar in Berekum on Friday to mow the lawn for the expansion of ongoing construction and the rehabilitation of city roads in Berekum, Berekum Manhene said, the ceremony marked the fulfillment of a request he made to the vice president. Bawumia during a visit. .
“The vice president paid a visit to Berekum and I made a request to him on behalf of my people. I told him about the bad nature of the roads in our city and he assured me that he would take care of my problem when I return to Accra, ”Dr. Nana Amankra Diawuo told the well-attended meeting.
He further explained that Dr. Baumia stayed true to his word a few months after leaving the place and added that “we heard in the media that the government has included a number of cities to benefit from road projects and Berekum was part of it. “.
“As we speak, contractors have started to pave some of our roads. And recently, Twum Nuamah brought officials from Synohydro to my palace and told me that they would also build some of the roads in the city of Berekum. “
“I am very happy that today the Vice President is here in Berekum to mow the grass for this Synohydro road project in Berekum … On behalf of the people of Berekum, thank you very much.”
The Berekum Manhene added that beyond fulfilling its commitment to the people of Berekum, the government of Akufo-Addo deserves praise for its great initiatives for the people of Ghana.
“We all know the great things that the nuclear power plant government is doing for the people of Ghana. We want to urge the government to keep doing good things to help us and the people of Ghana. “
While expressing the gratitude of his people, the Berekum Manhene called on the government to establish a technical and vocational school in the area to help train people.
He said that during their younger days in Germany, Germans embarked on massive technical and vocational training after WWII, and that helped make Germany a renowned industrial country.
