A well-known farmer and founder and Vice-Chancellor of the Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies (MITDS), Professor David Millar has revealed that the Chinese in charge of Pwalugu Multipurpose Dam are leaving the site for a different location. Apexnewsgh.com report.
Speaking to Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, in an exclusive interview, Professor David Miller said: “The whole thing is becoming negative. The Chinese who were there when we went, some of them have moved out. So, we don’t know what is happening”. He lamented.
He said, from the way things are going, it is clear that there is no money to fund the project.
You know some monies were allocated for the project in this year’s budget, but finances have thrown the budget out of gear. There is no money to finance the project”.
He, however, advised the government to suspend the mouthwatering multi-purpose dam for a while since a little over $10milion will bring back the Vea dam to shape.
“Vea is there, is not totally collapse, it will place at 30 or 40 percent and with just a little bit of investment, Vea could be brought to 60 to 80 performance. The problem with Vea is the canals”.
“If the government can say let’s suspend the Pwalugu for a while and let’s develop Vea first, it will make development sense.
“In any case, the Vea has a direct benefit for the Upper East Region than Pwalugu. Pawlugu benefit is indirect, s more in North East Region but Vea is sitting in the Upper East Region.
We have evidence to show that Upper East Region will be losing land and any other opportunities while North East will be gaining.
In less than one year, Vea Dam could be fixed. Professor Miller stressed
