President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to decentralising development and ensuring that all Ghanaians, regardless of where they live, have equal access to opportunities.
Speaking at the May Day celebrations held at Black Star Square in Accra, President Mahama addressed workers from across the country, emphasising that prosperity should not be confined to just a few cities.
“It should not be the case that the only real chance at prosperity exists if you live in Accra or Kumasi,” President Mahama said.
“My administration is committed to decentralising opportunities. We will work to bring investment, jobs, and infrastructure to every region of this country," he assured.
He added that his government will focus on ensuring that every Ghanaian worker, from Wa to Aflao, from Bole to Keta, and from Drobo to Enchi, has a fair and equal shot at building meaningful lives for themselves.
He stressed that no region should be left behind in the country's development efforts.
