Wa to open a fruit juice Factory by April
Wa, March 5, Ghanadot/GNA - A factory
that would extract juice from mango and other fruits in the
Upper West Region would be opened at Wa in April when
electricity would have been connected to the facility.
Materials required for the extension of the electricity have
been submitted to the Ministry of Energy for the start of
the project, the brain child of the Mayor of the IEPER City
Council in Belgium that has Sister City links with the Wa
Municipal Assembly.
Mr Abdul-Aziz Mohammed, Wa Municipal Chief Executive, said
this during his maiden address at the ordinary meeting of
the assembly on Tuesday.
He said revenue performance for last year fell short of
expectation as out of a target of 187,506.00 Ghana Cedis,
the assembly collected 139,167.58 Ghana Cedis and called for
the evolving of new ways of maximizing internally generated
funds.
Touching on the Sixth EU Micro Projects Programme, he
suggested that beneficiaries of the projects should be made
to sign performance contracts so that no party would have
course to renege on its promise in the delivery of services.
This is because communal support expected from the
beneficiary communities in some areas had been
unsatisfactory as the assembly was always prevailed upon to
step in and that had added to the huge burden on it.
Mr Iddrisu Adams, the Presiding Member, congratulated Mr
Mohammed and pledged the support and cooperation of the
assembly members.
