Such programmes would include the construction of a new Takoradi Airport, overhead around the Nkrumah round about, the establishment of the first Islamic senior high school and improvement of road network among others.

Mr. Okyere Darko, the MP for the Takoradi Constituency, announced this during the town hall meeting organised by the Ministry of Information at Sekondi in the Western Region. Already the government has employed 1000 Ghanaians under the various model of the NABCO project, whilst two companies had expressed interest to build factories within the STMA under one district, one factory initiative.

The MP said though it was laudable for foreign investors to come in, it was only prudent that local businesses men and women upheld the concept in order to ensure profit on investment stayed in the country.

Mr. Joe Ghartey, MP for Essikado/Ketan, said the government was committed to improving the rail network, adding the implementation of various policies especially the free senior high school education had restored confidence in Ghanaian politicians.

He said the railway university was progressing steadily and would soon have its first intake of students, whilst employment and salary structure of railways workers have been improved significantly.

Mr. Joseph Cudjoe, MP for Effia Constituency, said the fulfilment of the free senior high education promise by the government meant that the President had lived up to the vision of the first President of the Republic of Ghana.

Mr. Andrew Agyapa Mercer, MP for Sekondi promised his constituent of continuous engagement to fix road, sanitation and others pressing issues.

 Meanwhile, Mr. Anthony K. K. Sam, the Metropolitan Assembly Chief Executive, said the Assembly had made significant progress in the areas of health, education, sanitation, revenue generation among other social intervention schemes.

Under health, the Assembly had renovated the mortuary, built new CHPS compound and establish a NICU centre.

 For sanitation, litter bins had been procured for distribution, whilst the Assembly's sanitation task force had been commissioned to improve and arrest recalcitrant individuals.

The STMA, distributed seedlings to some farmers to improve upon agricultural yield, whilst the fall army worm issues were being kept under control.

Mr. John Owu, the Coordinating Director of the Assembly, said the Assembly would continue to engage and solicit for support from the citizenry on the day to day running of the Metropolitan area.

He said the situation would help the government to avoid unwanted consequences that came with failing to engage the citizenry. Nana Kofi Imbeah, an education consultant who chaired the function, stressed the need for such engagement in the dispensation of democracy to ensure that the voices of the people were incorporated in developments.

Reverend John Kwofie, Regional Director of the Christian Council, called for a legislative instrument to constituitionalize the free senior high education policy, so that no government could tamper with the process.
