Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has disclosed that she received a delegation from the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly, led by Metropolitan Chief Executive George Arthur, to discuss the development of the Cape Coast Metropolis.
In a post on her social media page, the Vice President said the delegation, which included the Members of Parliament for Cape Coast North and Cape Coast South, paid a New Year courtesy call and extended their goodwill, expressing hope for strength and clarity as government continues its efforts to reset the nation.
According to the Vice President, the delegation presented an eight-year development plan for the metropolis. Key components of the plan include the refurbishment and eventual operation of the late President Evans Atta Mills Library, as well as the rehabilitation of the Cape Coast Metropolitan Hospital.
She noted that discussions also focused on how government support could help make Cape Coast more vibrant and economically viable, alongside local fundraising initiatives aimed at supporting development efforts within the metropolis.
The Vice President further stated that she encouraged the Assembly to involve residents of Cape Coast in decision-making processes to promote ownership of development initiatives and strengthen public commitment to change. She also emphasised the need for the Assembly to pursue metropolitan development in alignment with the broader national development agenda.
