 The Regional Minister urged the MMDCEs and their respective MMDCDs to work hard to fulfil the overall goal of the respect MMDAs.

 “Focus your attention on government flagship programmes such as Planting for Food and Jobs, One District One Factory (1D1F) and Planting for Export and Rural Development among others to open doors of opportunities and provide food for the people,” he counseled them.

 Mrs. Sarah Dugbakie Pobee, DCE for Ada East District Assembly who spoke to the DAILY GUIDE shortly after signing her contract, described the event as one which will keep the various assemblies within the region focused on their mandates.
