Volta Economic Zone Will Transform Ghana And Boost Livelhoods……Hon.Julius Debrah
Chief of Staff Julius DDebrah has reaffirmed President Mahama’s commitment to establishing the Volta Economic Zone to create jobs and significantly improve livelihoods across Ghana.
Speaking on behalf of the President at the 2025 Hogbetsotso Festival Celebrations, Mr. Debrah said the proposed Volta Economic Zone which forms part of President Mahama’s broader 24-hour economy agenda, aims to harness the potential of the Volta Lake and its basin into a major industrial hub.
While the Volta Lake has long contributed to Ghana’s energy supply through hydroelectricity, the President believes that its wider economic potential remains largely untapped.
The initiative envisions the Volta Basin as a national production zone and logistics corridor, linking northern food-producing regions to southern markets and export points.
It includes plans to cultivate over two million hectares of lakeside farmland, revitalise fisheries for local and export markets, and develop industrial parks to process agricultural products and manufacture essential goods.
Torgbi Haxormene who spoke on behalf of Torgbui Sri III, the Awomefia of Anlo state on his part outlined some key developmental priorities that deserves attention from government.
Meanwhile the Akwamuman Hene , Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III
the special Quest of honour on his part says the occasion should remind the Anlo’s that unity is strength and that traditions are treasures to be guarded.
