 Dr James Kofi Annan, the NDC Parliamentary Candidate (PC) for Effutu Constituency, has promised to revitalise the local economy and create opportunities for the people if given the mandate come January 2025.

Dr Annan gave the assurance at a meet­ing with the people in the construction industry, on the theme: ‘Building the future together’ at Winneba as part of his vision to get the 24-hour economy policy of the NDC, effectively running in the Area if the Party gets the nod.

The participants were given the opportu­nity to identify the challenges facing the in­dustry, to develop innovative solutions, and foster collaboration towards their growth.

“These assurances are in line with the NDC’s 24-hour economy policy and the big push, aiming to promote economic activities beyond traditional hours,” he emphasised.
