The Minister in charge of the Agriculture sector, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto has revealed that the government’s One Village One Dam initiative is an expensive venture.
According to him, for the initiative to be implemented effectively, it requires a lot of time to be done.
He used the opportunity to, therefore, ask that the good people of Ghana would retain the Akufo-Addo-led administration come December 7 to continue with the dam infrastructure they have initiated in the northern part of the country.

He made this known while speaking of the sidelines of the government’s Town Hall and Results Fair which was held on Tuesday, August 18, 2020.
As part of the Akufo-Addo administration’s commitment to facilitate the growth of agriculture, it embarked on a One Village One Dam policy to improve irrigation all year round.
