Mr Pius Enam Hadzide, National Youth Authority Boss, has pledged to make Asuogyaman a tourism hub in the Eastern Region and Ghana as a whole when elected as the member of parliament for the area.
Speaking at an interdenominational thanksgiving ceremony at Atimpoku, he said the tourism potentials of the area, when fully harnessed, would create jobs for the youth.
Asuogyaman had the fauna and flora to paint a distinct picture of tourist attraction to the world, adding: ‘I will make Asuogyaman Ghana’s tourism hub when I become your MP’.
He mentioned the iconic Adomi Bridge and its Gardens Canopy walkway, Akosombo Dam, the Akwamu Forest Reserve and the unique species of birds there, the Volta Lake, Kpong Dam, and the peninsula canopy walk, as being among the many tourists attraction sites.
Mr Hadzide, the NPP parliamentary candidate for Asuogyaman, said those sites would be upgraded and rebranded to attract more tourists to create job opportunities.
He said he would ensure mechanized irrigation systems were
provided to boost Agriculture, which is the main economic activity of the people, and hoped they would support him to get the nod.
Mr Hadzide said he was in touch with some investors to establish a nursing training school in the district in addition to the agenda 111 hospital under construction at Apeguso.
Nana Abrokwa Asare, the National Premix Fuel Administrator, who contested in the primary, declared his support for Mr Hadzide and called on the electorate to vote massively for the New Patriotic Party come 2024.
