The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has assured residents of the Upper West Region that the party will deliver on its development promises following its electoral victory.
Speaking during an interview on Lambussie FM as part of his Thank You Tour of the Upper West Region, Mr Asiedu Nketia expressed appreciation to residents for their continued support and pledged that their confidence in the party would be justified.
“We are not only grateful in words, but we will live by every promise we made. By the end of the four-year term, the region will be better than it was in 2024,” he said.
He outlined several key infrastructure projects expected to improve livelihoods in the region, including major road construction and upgrades to transport networks.
According to him, work is currently ongoing on important road corridors linking the Upper West Region to other parts of the country, with the project divided into multiple lots to speed up completion.
“We recognise the poor state and long stretch of the road, so multiple contractors are working simultaneously to ensure faster delivery,” he explained.
Mr Asiedu Nketia also revealed plans to upgrade aviation infrastructure in the region, including the relocation and modernisation of existing airstrip facilities to meet improved standards.
“We want to ensure easier access to the region, not just for residents but also for economic activity,” he noted.
He emphasised that the NDC government, under President John Dramani Mahama, is focused on delivering tangible results rather than rhetoric.
“We prefer to perform rather than talk too much about what we are doing,” he said.
The NDC Chairman further highlighted the region’s contribution to national leadership, noting that several key government figures come from the Upper West Region.
He urged residents to remain confident in the government’s agenda, assuring them that development interventions would be inclusive and impactful.
