The General Secretary of the National Association of Local Authorities of Ghana (NALAG), Mr Kokro Amankwah, has urged regional ministers to package their regions in order to stimulate citizens to participate in entrepreneurial ventures to create employment.
That, according to him, would promote micro, small and medium-scale enterprises and create sustainable employment.
“To help improve the quality of life of our people, especially youth and women, it is imperative for our regions to focus on Local Economic Development (LED). Let us, therefore, build the economic capacity of our local people to improve their quality of life,” he stated.
Mr Amankwah was speaking at a ceremony during which the immediate past Bono East Regional Minister, Mr Kofi Amoakohene, officially handed over to the new minister, Mr Kwasi Adu-Gyan.
