Mr James Gunu, Volta Regional Minister has said that President Mahama’s agenda for the region required new level of commitment, innovation and collaboration.
He stated that the President’s bold and ambitious plan for the region was more than just a collection of policies as it represented a fundamental shift in how governance and development were conducted. Mr Gunu said this when he interacted with staff of the Volta Regional Coordinating Council during his first day at work.
He said that the Coordinating Council’s work was crucial to achieving that agenda and that effective cooperation among the staff was necessary to help reach the objective. The Minister called for support from all staff so they would be able to prosecute the agenda together for accelerated development of the region.
Mr Gunu said the gap between the rich and the poor could only be bridged with time and opportunities, therefore adherence to time was key in ensuring the region’s progress. He stated that some nations had advanced in development because they took advantage of the 24 hours God had given them to work, and that the government’s 24-hour economic programme would aid in the creation of opportunity for the people.
The Minister promised to operate an open-door policy and requested the staff to support him in processing his ideas to help develop the region and leave a positive legacy for future generations. Mr. Augustus Awity, Volta Regional Coordinating Director, assured the minister of staff’s readiness to working with him for the betterment of the region.
