President Mills

President Mills demands more hard work from appointees
President John Evans Atta Mills has told his
Ministers and other appointees to be steadfast and
put in more effort to support the Government to
transform the socio-economic situation of the
people.

He reminded them that the task ahead although
difficult and challenging, was surmountable.

President Mills, who was on the last leg of his
three-day working visit to the Ashanti Region, was
inaugurating a GH¢150,000.00 Health Centre at
Twabidi in the Ahafo-Ano North District.

The project was funded through the Community-based
Rural Development Project of the World Bank.

President Mills said it was an incontrovertible
fact that a lot had been achieved under his watch,
citing numerous development projects in the areas
of education, health, agriculture, youth
employment and poverty alleviation.

This should, however, not make any appointees to
give in to complacency since a lot more needed to
be done to speed up growth in all sectors of the
economy.

President Mills repeated that his Government would
not be distracted from its goal of making things
better for all Ghanaians.

Local Government and Rural Development Minister,
Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, rejected claims that the
Mills Administration was taking credit for
projects started by the past government.

He said they had their own clearly defined
development agenda, which they were executing to
improve the lot of Ghanaians.

The Minister urged Metropolitan, Municipal and
District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) to take
advantage of the district development fund to
embark on social interventions that would help to
raise the quality of life of the people.

President Mills later inaugurated a block of six
classrooms built for the Maabang Senior High
School (SHS) and an electrification project at
Odikro-Nkwanta.
