Pwalugu Dam Is The Biggest Investment Done By Any Gov’t In Northern Region Since Independence – Dr. Bawumia

The Vice President Of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, says Pwalugu multipurpose dam project is the biggest investment in the Northern Region since independence and it was initiated by the Akufo-Addo led government.

In an interview with Peace FM,

Dr Bawumia said;

“The most important irrigation project that we have put in place is the Pwalugu dam. This is the one that is almost a billion dollars and it is going to provide irrigation to at least 24,000 hectares [of farm land]. Currently, Ghana has a public irrigable land of 13,000 hectares. So Pwalugu is going to double what we have in addition to the flood control and electricity. It is the biggest investment that any government has done in Northern Region since independence”.
