Government cannot construct irrigation dams in rainy season - Bawumia

Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia has said the construction of the irrigation dams in farming villages in the Northern Region will begin after the rainy season.

“As you are seeing, we are starting the ‘one district-one factory’. After the rains are over, we will start the ‘one village-one dam’ because we cannot start digging dams in the rainy season. Nana Akufo-Addo says ‘thank you’.

He said President Akufo-Addo has started delivering on his electoral promises, citing the restoration of the nursing and teacher training allowance and the start of the free Senior High School in Septembers.

“We are at work to deliver on the promises that he has made,” he said. “By the grace of God we will start the free senior secondary school education in September, this year.

“Similarly, we will start paying teacher and nursing trainee allowances again from September, this year. We are asking for peace in Ghana. We are asking for peace between all the religions- Christians and Muslims- to live together very peacefully as we have continued to do.”
