The Jirapa Municipal Assembly in the Upper West Region has graciously welcomed a business delegation from Accra, intent on investing in a long-abandoned factory initiated in 2015.
This facility, originally envisioned to store and package tomatoes and various vegetables upon completion, has been left vulnerable to the elements, with portions of its roof torn away, thus jeopardising some of its equipment.During a guided tour of the premises in Jirapa, the Jirapa Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Peter N.
N.
Toang, disclosed that he became interested in the pack house merely three months after assuming office as MCE.He revealed that he collaborated with the former District Chief Executive (DCE), Cletus Seidu Dapilaa, who not only initiated the project in 2015 but is also the current Member of Parliament for the area.Toang indicated that the MP, Cletus Seidu Dapilaa, introduced him to the current Minister of Agriculture, Eric Opoku, who diligently sought and secured an investor, known as Farm Mate Africa, to revitalise the project.The MCE expressed optimism that the inspection would lead to the establishment of an agreement that would be mutually advantageous for both the Jirapa Municipal Assembly and the investor, Farm Mate Africa.
