The General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr John Boadu has cut sod for the construction of an ultramodern office complex to serve as the Bono Regional Secretariat of the Party, in Sunyani with financial support from him and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
He commended the Regional Party, led by the Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe ‘Abronye’, for taking up the initiative of getting a permanent party secretariat for the regional party, and securing a land for it.
Speaking at a brief sod-cutting ceremony at the project site, on the sidelines of the 2021 Bono Regional Annual Delegates Conference of the Party on Friday, Mr John Boadu, after donating an amount of GH¢50,000 as seed money in support of the Project, also promised to offer all such financial and material assistance as will be required to ensure the timely completion of the project.
The project is expected to be completed by May, 2022, before the next Bono Regional Annual Delegates Conference of the Party.
To ensure that the Project is completed within schedule, a 9-member ad-hoc committee was put together by the regional party, and inaugurated by the General Secretary, at the conference.
The committee is chaired by Joseph Mensah, the regional first vice chairman.
Bawumia donation
Meanwhile, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has also donated an amount of GH¢50,000 as well as 1,000 bags of cement to the Project Committee.
The donation is in support of the project with the promise to do more to ensure the timely completion of the office complex.
This donation was made on behalf of Dr. Bawumia by his Senior Advisor, and Chief Executive Officer of the Bui Power Authority, Mr. Fred Oware.
The Vice President also supported the organization of the Bono regional conference, just as he has done for all the regions that have held their regional conferences thus far.
Other donations in support of the Project were received from the Party’s Parliamentary caucus in the Bono Region, through its chairperson and MP for Sunyani East, Mr Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh, as well as the Regional Minister, Madam Justina Awo-Banahene and MMDCEs from the Bono Region.
