NDC to complete abandoned projects in Volta Region when they come to power

We sincerely appreciate [the Church] and offer God the praise and the thanks for this day. It is impossible to overstate how much delight their gift has brought us.

The project has made it possible for the communities to access better sanitation and safer drinking water. Earlier, many people in the communities were without access to proper toilets and were living in deplorable conditions. It is frequently women and children who must go long distances to collect water from dugouts and dams, which is dangerous.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been known to prioritise access to safe drinking water through collaborations with charitable groups and global humanitarian action by missionaries. For instance, the Church finished drilling boreholes in other Ghanaian communities last year. They further collaborated with Water for People to repair the water supply in Uganda.

NDC Vows To Complete All the Abandoned Projects In The Volta Region When They Come To Power

In an earlier story, YEN.com.gh wrote about how the NDC party has vowed to complete the abandoned projects in the Volta Region when they come to power. However, former President John Mahama revealed that the current government had not done well in carrying out the projects that the former NDC government started in the region.

John Dramani Mahama mentioned projects like the Sokode-Ho road and the Volivo bridge, all of which have been left to rot. He expressed disappointment over the numerous unfinished projects in the Volta Region and promised to have them completed when voted into power.
