Twenty-three farmers have received compensation for their lands which they gave up for the construction of the Western North Regional Coordinating Council (RCC)’s offices.
Even though there were fears the Council will renege on its pledge to make the payment, the latter stuck to their end of the bargain by making payment Wednesday, April 28.
Authorities of the Western North RCC, on behalf of Regional Minister, Richard Ebbah Obeng, Louis Owusu Agyapong, presented a cheque of GHS 201,273.
