One village one dam to be launched by end of year - Bawumia
Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has promised
that one of government’s flagship policies;
“One-village, One dam” will be launched by the
end of 2017.

Speaking at the Institutional Advancement Lecture
organized by the University of Cape Coast under
the theme "Building Stronger Economies For The
African Continent:

The Missing Link", he mentioned the notable
campaign promise as one of the key tenets in
building a stronger economy to match the likes of
Singapore, Japan USA  and others.  

Dr. Bawumia believes introducing the dams in the
three regions of the north, will contribute to
boosting the agricultural industry in Ghana.


He also mentioned access to education as a vital
catalyst to building a stronger economy and it is
for that, that the government of Akufo-Addo has
implemented the flagship free Senior High School
programme.


He also mentioned that in Mauritius education is
free to the university level.

He touched on access to uninterrupted power as
well since “a strong economy cannot be built
on dumsor” and assured the public that, the
government will not enter into any power purchase
agreement unless it is for renewable energy.

The Vice President also mentioned the digital
addressing system that was designed by a team in
Dansoman, Accra which he said will be launched in
two weeks.

This addressing system is the best in the world
since it is new technology, it can even give you
your location if you are standing in the middle of
river Oti, he said.

Also in attendance at the lecture were some
students from Senior High Schools in Cape Coast,
Nana Sam Brew-Butler who is a former member of the
Governing Council of UCC and other dignitaries of
the University of Cape Coast.
