John Boadu
The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, last Friday cut the sod for the construction of an office complex in Sunyani to serve as the Bono Regional Secretariat of the party.
He commended the regional executives, led by the Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe ‘Abronye’, for taking up the initiative of getting a permanent party secretariat for the region, and securing a land for the project.
Speaking at a brief sod-cutting ceremony at the project site, on the sidelines of the 2021 Bono Regional Annual Delegates Conference of the party, the NPP General Secretary, after donating an amount of GH¢50,000 as seed money in support of the project, also promised to offer all such financial and material assistance as will be required to ensure the timely completion of the project.
The project is expected to be completed by May, 2022, before the next Bono Regional Annual Delegates Conference of the party.
To ensure that the project is completed within schedule, a nine-member ad-hoc committee chaired by Joesph Mensah, the regional first vice chairman, was put together by the party, and inaugurated by the General Secretary, at the conference.
Meanwhile, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has donated an amount of GH¢20,000 as well as 1,000 bags of cement for the project, with the promise to do more to ensure the timely completion of the office complex.
The donation was made on behalf of Dr. Bawumia by his Senior Advisor, and former Board Chair of the Bui Power Authority, Fred Oware.
The Vice President also supported the organisation of the Bono regional conference, just as he had done for all the regions that have held their regional conferences.
Other donations in support of the project were received from the NPP parliamentary caucus in the Bono Region, through its chairperson and MP for Sunyani East, Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh, as well as the Regional Minister, Justina Awo-Banahene and MMDCEs from the region.
