The Vice President, Jane Opoku-Agyemang, on Thursday received a delegation from the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly, led by the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), George Arthur. The visit also included Members of Parliament for Cape Coast North and Cape Coast South.
According to the Vice President, the delegation extended New Year’s greetings and shared hopes for “strength and clarity to continue resetting the nation.”
During the meeting, the assembly presented an eight-year development plan for the Cape Coast Metropolis. The plan highlights the refurbishment and eventual operation of the Evans Atta Mills Library, alongside the rehabilitation of the Cape Coast Metropolitan Hospital.
The Vice President said discussions focused on making Cape Coast “more vibrant and economically viable,” while also considering the role of local fundraising initiatives in supporting the metropolis’ development.
She emphasized the importance of community involvement, urging the assembly to “involve the people of Cape Coast in their decision-making as much as possible, so that they have ownership of these initiatives and are willing to work toward change.”
She added that while efforts to develop Cape Coast are commendable, it is important that “they should not lose sight of the development of the entire nation.”
