Edina-Amoanda gets pipe-borne water

Edina-Amoanda, May 3, GNA - Nana Ato Arthur, the Central Regional Minister on Friday, urged the urged Ghanaians to help their hometowns in any way that they could in order to promote development. He made this call at the commissioning of a water project at Edina-Amoanda, which was sponsored by the United Charities Endowment Fund (UCEFA), a Non Governmental Organisation.

He said the government alone could not provide all the needs of people, and therefore contributions from individuals and organisations like UCEFA were welcomed towards the overall development of the nation. Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, the flagbearer of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), urged the beneficiary community to take good care of the water that has been provided.

Mr Douglas Edwards, the Chief Executive officer (CEO) of UCEFA, thanked the people for providing labour for the project and presented four sets of jerseys, footballs and seeds of various plants to the people. The Chief of Edina-Amoanda in return, presented two stools, two pair of native sandals and other gifts to Mr Douglas Edwards and UCEFA.
