Alan Kyerematen ends
campaign tour of Northern Region
Tamale, Nov. 10, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Alan Kyerematen, a
presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has
promised to bridge the development gap between Northern and
Southern Ghana, when he becomes President.
He said he would do this by improving road and rail networks
in addition to developing water transport on the Volta Lake.
Mr Kyerematen was addressing a press conference in Tamale to
round off his five-day campaign tour of constituencies in
the Northern Region during which he asked delegates to elect
him as the flagbearer of the NPP at the Party's primaries
scheduled for December 22.
Members of his campaign team included Mr Ntow Ababio,
campaign manager, Nana Yaw Attah, member of the Young
Executive Forum (YEF), Efo Filipo, South Dayi constituency
chairman, Mr Osei Bonsu, Adansi Akrofuom constituency
chairman, and Dr Anthony Osei of the YEF.
Mr Kyerematen said he would embark on an aggressive
industrialisation policy and the establishment of
agro-industries, as well as the introduction of Information
Communication Technology (ICT) as strategies to bridge the
North/ South development gap.
He recalled that during his tenure as Minister for Trade and
Industries, the Pwalugu tomato factory was revived and that
very soon the government would establish a sugar plantation
in the Savelugu/Nanton District.
The plantation, he said, would produce about 100,000 tonnes
of sugar and that it's by products would be used to produce
about 800 litres of bio-diesel and electricity.
