The construction of the much-talk-about Pwalugu Multipurpose Dam and the Tomato Factory projects will help address the pressing economic issues hampering the people in Upper East and the North of the country as a whole.
The projects will not only offer employment opportunities for the rural folks who travel down South for non-existent greener pastures, but will contribute significantly to the socio-economic development of the country.
The General Secretary for the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union (ICU), Ghana, Morgan Ayawine, made this call at the Upper East Regional Conference held in the regional capital Bolgatanga last Friday.
The conference was held to precede the 12th Quadrennial Delegates' Conference, which according to the General Secretary would serve as a forum to take stock and plan the region's activities, conduct elections for the youth, women and the Regional Council, and, as well as adopt resolutions for the forthcoming of all important event.
