Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare, the presidential adviser on health, emphasized the substantial employment opportunities generated by the government’s Agenda 111 project in the Nkwanta North District of the Oti Region.
He made these remarks during the Agenda 111 Impact Forum held in Kpassa, situated within the Nkwanta North District.
The Agenda 111 project, officially launched by President Nana Akufo-Addo on August 17, 2021, aims to rapidly construct one hundred and eleven district hospitals nationwide within an ambitious 18-month timeline.
Addressing stakeholders at the forum, Dr. Nsiah-Asare stressed that this initiative not only promises to elevate the district’s healthcare infrastructure but also plays a significant role in generating employment opportunities within the local community.
“When this project started, the contractors employed a lot of our local artisans; the carpenters, masons, steel benders, and most other artisans in other areas.
“Apart from that, there are people who are also selling pure water, and food for the workers and we have created some jobs in the local community even before the buildings are completed and commissioned.”
