Former President John Dramani Mahama has promised the people of Jomoro in the Western Region that the next National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will build a petro-chemical industry in their locality to boost economic activities.
That, he said, formed part of measures to expand the oil and gas industry.
Mr. Mahama, the flagbearer of the NDC for the 2024 general elections, was addressing the chiefs and people of Jaway-Wharf in the Jomoro Municipality as part of his two-day visit to the region, dubbed; “Building Ghana Tour.”
He also hinted of building an ultra-modern market in Jaway-Wharf to boost trade and revive commercial activities in the once vibrant town.
He assured the chiefs and people of an asphaltic road overlay to modernize the area and aid trade.
The former president is expected to address a town hall meeting at Ambainu in the Ellembelle District and address students at the Esiama Nursing Training School.
He will later hold another town-hall meeting for the chiefs and people of Evaloe-Adjomoro Gwira Constituency at Axim.
