Correspondence from Western Region

Dr. Isaac Dasmani a former Parliamentary aspirant and a senior member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Prestea Huni-Valley Constituency in the Western Region has assured the youth in the area of their Member of Parliament (MP) Hon. Barbara Oteng-Gyasi’s continual effort towards prioritizing the needs of constituents which tends to benefit the teeming youth.

He said Mrs. Oteng-Gyasi on assuming the office of MP recognised the significant role the youth play in national development hence the urgency to prioritise their well-being which has now ensured meaningful contribution by the youth to the socio-economic and sustainable development of the Constituency and the country at large.

Whiles much more needs to be done, Dr. Dasmani maintained the unprecedented achievement of the MP.

He touted projects and social intervention policies implemented by Lawyer Barbara Oteng-Gyasi who is the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and urged residents especially the youth to take advantage of the numerous opportunities she has made available.

Dr. Dasmani made the statement when speaking to GhanaWeb's Western Regional Correspondent at the 63rd Independence Day Obaatanpa Football Gala Competition organised by the youth wing of the NPP for nine electoral areas in Prestea on Friday, 6th March, 2020, at the Scot’s stadium with the theme “Consolidating Our Gains In Sport”.

The keenly contested gala saw Mankessim Electoral Area as the overall winners took home GHs 2,200 cash, a trophy, set of Jersey and football.

Anfagya Electoral Area also took home GHs 1,200 cash for placing second whiles Krootown and Bondaye Electoral Areas respectively took the third and fourth positions. Each team was presented with a set of Jersey and football.

The former Parliamentary aspirant disclosed that plans were far advance for the MP to consturct an Artificial turf at the Prestea Scot's Stadium to replace the deplorable state of the current pitch.

This he noted is as part of the MP’s agenda to provide quality and accessible sports infrastructure for all especially the youth.

Dr. Dasmani, therefore lauded the various youth groups and appealed to them to rally behind the MP, President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia as they deliver on their promises made to the good people of Ghana.
