The presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has outlined the vision of the next NDC government for the six new regions.
The former president said the creation of a new region goes beyond just the name on paper and must reflect in development on the ground.
Addressing a mini rally at Kwamekrom in the Biakoye Constituency of the Oti Region, one of the new regions, on Monday, Mr Mahama said the next NDC government would give true meaning to the creation of the new regions. "As part of our policies for the new regions, every region will have a public university and Oti should expect its first public university when we form the next government. "We have also programmed that every region will have a regional hospital, a sports stadium and a regional police command headquarters," he said in the Twi language to loud cheers.
According to John Mahama, the current government created the new regions without any concrete developmental agenda in place for them.
