Mr. Samuel Kofi Dzamesi, Volta Regional Minister, has observed that the Volta Region was currently leading in development projects in the country.
He assured Ghanaians that the government would not discriminate against any region in the execution of development projects.
Mr. Dzamesi said these at the weekend when he interacted with a cross section of the Ewe community at Anloga in Kumasi.
He said six districts namely Ketu North, Ketu South, Tongu, Akatsi, Keta and Kpandu have benefited from the Millennium Challenge Accounts, which aimed at reducing poverty.
Mr. Dzamesi said a proposal for three more universities to be established in the Upper East, Brong-Ahafo and the Volta Regions was currently before Cabinet for consideration.
He said plans were advanced for the establishment of a second science and technical university in the Volta Region, apart from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
Mr. Dzamesi said "It would soon be brought before Parliament for approval and when this was done, the new university would operate from the Ho Polytechnic before new permanent structures would be put in place."
He commended the Ewe community in the Ashanti Region for peacefully co-existing with other people in the region.
Mr. Dzamesi presented some crates of assorted drinks and GH¢500 to the chiefs and people of the Ewe community.
Togbe Amenya Fiti V, Paramount Chief of Aflao Traditional Area, who accompanied Mr. Dzamesi, urged investors to invest in the Volta Region to create jobs for the people.
Togbe Fiti assured investors of land, raw materials and other favourable factors of production for the establishment of
factories in the region.
Togbe Mawufe Fugah, chief of the Ewe community in the Ashanti Region, thanked the Minister and his entourage for their visit.
He said the Community had instituted a festival called "Dagbe," which literally means blessing, to help unite the people and honour the Asantehene and the people in the region.
