President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to equitable national development, assuring that no region will be neglected because of its political or electoral choices.
The President gave the assurance on Thursday, July 16, during the sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of a 24-Hour Economy Market at Juapong in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region.
Addressing chiefs, market women, youth groups and residents, President Mahama dismissed the perception that some regions receive less development because of the way they vote, stressing that his government is committed to serving all Ghanaians equally.
“Let me assure you that this government that I lead does not regard the Volta Region merely as a region of loyal political support. We reject the notion that any part of Ghana should be taken for granted or left behind because of its electoral choices,” he said.
According to the President, the mandate entrusted to his administration by Ghanaians is to govern in the interest of every citizen, irrespective of political affiliation or geographical location.
“Our mandate given to us by the people of Ghana is to govern the country for every Ghanaian, and our commitment to the Volta Region is founded on fairness and equity,” he added.
The Juapong market project forms part of the government’s 24-Hour Economy initiative aimed at expanding economic activity, creating jobs and improving trading infrastructure across the country.
The facility is expected to support commercial activities beyond the traditional working hours while providing a modern trading environment for businesses in the area.
