Executive Director of the Volta Business Development Forum has urged people from the Volta Region to be more concerned with the development of the region.
According to Daniel Dzegede, the region is lagging behind in terms of development despite human and natural resources, therefore, citizens must come together to ensure development in the region.

He said the vision of the forum is to seek to attain conducive sustainable Development in the region with the help of all committed put in place
The Deputy Minister, Rev. Ps. Johnson Avuletey urged the group to work hard devoid of selfish interest and partisanship to be able to push state actors to understand the needs of the Volta Region as far as development is concerned.
