He said "It is not possible to build one dam in every village..." Geographically it is not possible to have a dam in every village."

Mr. Pratt in an interview with Accra-based Atinka FM,  said it is highly impossible to build a dam in every district adding that even if it was necessary, it is not possible.

Nana Addo promised to establish a dam in every farming village in a bid to improve agriculture production in the country if elected in the December polls.

He said the only way to increase the total land area under cultivation in Ghana from 30,000 out of 14 million hectares of arable land is for the country to develop more irrigation systems.

Akufo-Addo made this known Sunday when he was addressing the Bolgatanga Traditional Council on the 2nd day of his tour of the Upper East Region.

“You have been hearing me talking about 1-District-1-Factory. As far as this part of the country is concerned, I even want to go further and talk about “1-village-1-dam”, to make sure that in every village, we have a functioning dam to support agriculture. If Ghana’s agriculture is working well, the nation is capable of feeding West Africa,” he said.

Meanwhile, government says it is already implementing Akufo-Addo's campaign pledge in the Northern Region.
