Adaklu Kodzobi (VR), Nov 14, - Mr
Kandey Phanuel Donkor, the District Chief Executive for Adaklu has said the
soon to be commissioned Adaklu starch and ethanol factory would employ some
3,000 youth in the district.
He said three investors were
working on the establishment of the factory under government’s One District,
One Factory initiative to create jobs in the district.
Mr Donkor said this at a durbar
of chiefs and people of Adaklu Kodzobi in the Adaklu district to climax their week
long Bliza (Corn Festival).
The festival, which was
instituted 35 years ago to give thanks to God for a bumper corn harvest after
the 1983 famine was on the theme “Education and human resource development-.key
to wealth creation”.
The DCE said the Assembly was
fast-tracking the processes through the provision of potable water and
improvement of road network to the project sites, especially Kpetsu, Wudede and
Anfoe.
He said the area could only
develop in an atmosphere of unity and appealed to the people to work together
to transform the area irrespective of their political leanings.
Mr Kwame Agbodzah, Member of
Parliament for the area advised students to pursue academic programmes that
would make them self-employed, because government alone could not employ
everyone.
Professor Francis Zotor of
University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) appealed to the youth of the
area to take advantage of the University of Health and Allied Sciences and the
Ho Technical University (HTU) to climb to the apex of the academic ladder.
Professor Emmanuel Sakyi, Acting
Vice Chancellor, HTU, said the School has a scholarship package for students
from the community and appealed to them to take advantage of it.
Mr. H.M Serenye, Chief Executive
Officer of Haysens Ghana Limited presented 100 bags of cement to the people for
the completion of a community Centre.
An appeal for funds in aid of the
project yielded over GH₵15,000.00.
