Dambai (O/R), Nov 10, GNA – The Oti Regional Minister, Mr John Kwadwo Gyapong, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to accelerating development in the region, citing ongoing infrastructure projects and efforts to address longstanding developmental challenges.
He said the government remained focused on ensuring that the Oti Region received its fair share of national development, while dismissing criticisms by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that the current administration had failed to make meaningful progress in the area.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr Gyapong said several development projects were underway across the region, particularly in road infrastructure, education and healthcare delivery.
He mentioned the construction and improvement of road networks, classroom blocks and Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds as some of the interventions aimed at improving access to essential services and enhancing living conditions.
The Minister said the projects formed part of a broader development agenda to address infrastructure deficits and promote equitable development across the region.
He noted that the government was also prioritising the completion of abandoned and uncompleted projects inherited from the previous administration to ensure that public investments translated into tangible benefits for the people.
Mr Gyapong said completing such projects would help improve access to critical services, prevent the waste of public resources and accelerate development across the region.
He called on residents to remain patient and support ongoing development initiatives, stressing the importance of collective efforts in addressing the region’s infrastructure and socio-economic challenges.
The Minister expressed confidence that sustained government interventions would gradually bridge existing development gaps and improve the quality of life of residents.
Reaffirming his commitment to the region, Mr Gyapong said he would continue to advocate for Oti’s development priorities and work towards securing the resources needed to accelerate its growth.
