Jomoro District Assembly has decided to name some principal streets at Half Assini, after Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's First President and his father Gorkeh.
Martin Ackah, Jomoro District Chief Executive, who announced this at the third ordinary meeting of the first session of the assembly at Half Assini at the weekend said it formed part of the Golden Jubilee celebration of Ghana's Independence.
He said the assembly would in addition undertake a jubilee school project comprising a six-classroom block and a kindergarten.
Mr Ackah said the assembly was looking for investors and partners to exploit large lime deposits at Takinta, Tikobo Number One and Kabenlasuazo to create employment for people.
He said 52 people had been trained in grasscutter rearing and soap making at Adsuazo, Mpasem and Half Assini.
Mr Ackah said 386 people had been employed under the National Youth Employment Programme and 3,072 pupils were benefiting from the School Feeding Programme in the district.
He announced that so far, 34,928 people had registered with the Jomoro District Mutual Health Insurance Scheme and had realised about 614 million cedis from premiums.
On revenue generation, Mr Ackah said the assembly realised GHc 59,930 (599.3 million cedis) from internally generated revenue from January to May this year, and received GHc 150,000 (1.5 five billion cedis) as its share of Assemblies Common Fund for the first quarter of the year.
