Unity key to developing Western Region, says Minister

Western Regional Minister Joseph Nelson has emphasized that developing the Western Region requires collective effort and unity.
He has therefore urged the citizenry to join hands in driving the progress of the region.

Speaking at the inaugural “Walk with the Honourable Regional Minister” event, themed “Healthy People, Wealthy Region,” the Minister rallied thousands, promoting a shared vision for regional development.
The inaugural ‘Walk with the Honourable Regional Minister’ event was successfully held, thanks to the collaboration between the Western Regional Coordinating Council and the Western Regional Office of the National Sports Authority, an initiative spearheaded by Regional Minister Joseph Nelson.
The 10.3-kilometer walk commenced at the Takoradi Mall, traversed major streets in Sekondi Takoradi, and concluded at the Sekondi Gyandu Park. The event drew MMDCEs from the region’s 14 assemblies, parliamentarians, and other dignitaries.

Following the walk, a professionally led aerobics session, featuring former Black Stars player Stephen Baidoo, took place at the Gyandu Park turf.
Western Regional Minister Joseph Nelson explained that the initiative aims to provide a platform for the entire Western Region to unite and collectively strive for a better future, promoting unity and regional development.
Other dignitaries who joined the event emphasized that ‘Health is Wealth,’ which motivated them to lend their support and encourage community members to participate in the walk.
Lawyer Philip Fiifi Buckman, Member of Parliament for Kwesimintsim Constituency, echoed the call for Western Region’s development, emphasizing the importance of collective effort.

Other dignitaries and patrons of the event also lent their voices in support.
