Presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has pledged to prioritize investments in the agricultural sector should he be elected as president.
He emphasized that such investments will be supported by data. This statement was made in a Facebook post following his campaign tour of the Volta Region, which included the Ketu North, Ketu South, Akatsi South, and Central Tongu Constituencies on Wednesday, October 23.
As indicated in my Manifesto, a major focus of a Bawumia Presidency will be agriculture, justified by data which indicates about 60% of Ghanaians are engaged in that vital endeavour.
We will also facilitate the setting up of area-appropriate factories to add value and reduce post-harvest losses arising from a glut in production. Together, we can make this possible.
I envision a modern, transformed Ghana anchored on bold new ideas and grounded in our collective efforts. A Ghana revolutionized through innovations in Education, Agriculture, Health, Business, Human Resource Development, and many more.
