Oando Fuel station launched in Paga

Paga (U/E), Nov 12, GNA - Mr Mark Woyongo, the Upper East Regional Minister, has said no investors would like to commit resources into any environment that would not promote peace. Mr Woyongo said this when he joined the people of Saboro in the Kassena Nankana West District to open Oando Fuel Station. He said investments of that kind were timely since the region had just celebrated its 50th anniversary. He said funding was secured for the realignment of the Paga airstrip to widen it up enough for commercial flights. He said government had created an enabling environment for private sector growth and was ready to put in place structures to enhance competence.

Mr Issifu Baba Seidu, Chief Executive Officer of Bisvel group of Companies, owners of Oando, said his company had employed 276 youth in Ghana and their plan to invest in the region showed their interest in partnering government in the development process. He said Oando oil had plans to establish a 20-room hotel in the district to open more employment opportunities for the youth in the area.
