The Upper East Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu has said, that the Pwalugu Multi-Purpose dam project implementation and faces are followed strictly. Therefore, those who think that the government is not going to do anything about it, are naysayers- apexnewsgh.com reports
In 2019, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo cut the sod for the construction of the Pwalugu Multipurpose Dam in the Talensi District in the Upper East Region.
The $993 million projects which is being financed solely by the government, has been on the drawing board since the early 1960s, and the sod-cutting ceremony was thus considered historic.
But, it appears that since after the sod cutting, some citizens in the region were not happy with the level of work progress, leading to their conclusion that the government isn’t going to do anything about the multi-purpose dam.
Meanwhile, according to the Regional Minister Mr. Yakubu, those thinking otherwise about the project are naysayers. He spoke to Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnews Gh.
“I can tell you that the implementation, the faces are been followed strictly. Even last week, they came and brief me in my office. We want to do it right, we don’t want to have any problems because we have had dams before and therefore we are building on that. So, the problems we had in the earlier dams we constructed, we want to make sure that this time we get it right. So, I can tell you that they are doing what they need to do. Currently, they came and went to the Talensi area engaging those they are going to resettle and therefore, those who think that the government is not going to do anything about it, they are naysayers and they will see this dam constructed and it will be constructed. As a Regional Minister, am knocking on the doors of the President and the President is very committed to it, the government is very committed to it and we will see it through and the beneficiaries will be Upper East Region”.
