Thank you Mr President, no more traveling to Accra for jobs
Togbe Ngoryifiaga said this is what we should be hearing in the news.
These are the sort of news that we need to hear very often! I know this government is working but a lot are also “chopping”, which I have no problem with provided they deliver!
Dhel Phran said he is very excited about the factory.
Am very excited for this factory... I grew up in the Krachi East Region and I can tell you the only thing my people do is the cultivation of yam and cassava. I have always been wondering what type of factory could be built there to help with the wastage.
Mariam Suleiman said the same factory should be in the north too.
