The announcement of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s plan to establish free zones in Aflao, a border town in the Volta Region, has sparked excitement among the residents of the area.
This development comes as part of Dr Bawumia’s plan to boost economic activity, create more jobs, and increase regional export production in the region.
Richard Ahiagbah, the Director of Communications for the NPP, has called on the people of the Volta Region to support Dr Bawumia in the upcoming 2024 general elections, highlighting the potential benefits of having a free zone enclave in the region. Ahiagbah expressed his belief that Dr Bawumia’s leadership will bring the much-needed development and prosperity to the region, contrasting it with what he perceives as a lack of vision from the opposition party.
Speaking on his X platform, Ahiagbah emphasized the importance of economic growth and job creation in the Volta Region, underscoring the potential impact that a free zone enclave could have on the local economy.
He urged residents to reject sentiment and instead focus on the practical benefits that Dr Bawumia’s leadership could bring to the region.
“Volta must support Bawumia and reject Mahama. Bawumia’s leadership will boost economic activity, create more jobs, and increase regional export production.
“Bawumia plans to establish Special Economic Zones or free zones in border towns, including Aflao in the Ketu South Constituency.
“A Free Zone enclave in the Volta Region is a game-changer, but NDC-Mahama has no such plans for the Volta Region.
“What is former President Mahama’s vision or plan for the Volta Region? The development of the Volta Region will inform our votes in 2024 and not sentiment.”
As Dr Bawumia continues his tour of the Volta Region, the announcement of plans to establish free zones in Aflao has generated optimism and anticipation among the residents. This move is seen as a significant step towards economic growth and development in the Volta Region, cementing Dr Bawumia’s commitment to improving the lives of the people in the area.
