The Asuogyaman District Assembly has identified five priority areas, it says it is going to invest its share of the one million dollars per every constituency.

Mr. Samuel Kwame Agyekum, the District Chief Executive (DCE), said the money would be spent on education, health, roads, water and electricity.

He told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that communities struggling with potable water would have the problem addressed.

There would be improvement of feeder roads, the extension of electricity, the construction of a district hospital and rehabilitation of school structures.

Mr. Agyekum also spoke of efforts to put into good shape three major roads in the area - Asikuma Junction - Boso, Apegusu Junction - Anyensu, Akosombo Marine – Jekiti/Anyaase.

He indicated that these roads were critical to the economic fortunes of the district and that everything would be done to ensure that they were upgraded.

He hinted of plans to construct 40 kilometres stretch of feeder roads from the assembly’s own budget.

This, he said, would allow for smooth evacuation of farm produce from the farm gates to the marketing centres.
