The chief of Sefwi Awiokrom Nana Ahwoi Payne I has allocated 40 acres of land to the Nana Addo administration to implement its policy of one-district, one-factory.

In an interview with Accra-based Rainbow radio the chief said they were hopeful president Nana Addo will fulfil his campaign promise. He said they were only helping by allocating the land so he could speed up on the delivery on his promise.

When asked what kind of industry or factory they would want government to construct in the area, Nana Ahwoi said, "we are predominantly cocoa farmers and so we will be grateful if government construct a factory that will add value to what we produce here. It could be a beverage processing factory or any cocoa related product.”
