President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured the Western regional house of chiefs that, he will relocate the headquarters of the Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC) to the Region as he promised during his campaign.
Nana Addo says he will also make the region the hub of oil and gas when assumes office.
He expressed gratitude to the chiefs for their support and asked for their prayers and support to help restore integrity in governance to fulfil the high expectations Ghanaians have reposed in him.
The President-elect said all his pledges will be fulfilled “..pledges of one-district-one factory is going to happen live..modernisation of the Takoradi Harbour is going to be done…Construction of an Accident and Emergency Centre in Takoradi is on plan ..”he said.
He revealed that modalities for the creation of the proposed Western- North region will be prepared so the proposal will be put to a referendum during the next District Assembly Elections next 2years.
He reiterated his promise of revamping the Western and Eastern corridor rail network by leveraging the revenue from the oil and gas for that purpose.
On his part, the President of the Western Regional House of Chiefs, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi ll who is also the Paramount Chief of Sefwi Anwhiaso commended the President-elect for his victory at the recent polls and tasked him not to forget all the pledges he has made to the region since it is unfortunate that despite all the resources in the region it still lacks development.

You really can't think far, or else you will realize the enormity of this single move on our economy. It is only in Ghana that all our strategic institutions are Located in the capital city- Accra. In other civilized Countries even the ministries are evenly spread. This makes economical sense and helps accelerated dev- lopment of a nation. This is why some of us believed in Nana and will continue to pray that his vision for Ghana comes to pass. God will lead the way.
I really don't get it. What will that do to those in takoradi. I can't think far, I can't think ***barred word***. Relocating GNPC to takoradi and then what.
yes this is what i have been talking about. Nana this is a good move. we should not load all our companies in Accra. Cocoboard must also be relocated.
Nana God richly bless u for that move. We the people of Tadi and its environs knew from day one that u are the best man for this country.
We need modernization in Ghana and not the same mediocre way of doing things.I know with God's help,Nana will take outside the box.
Fuck u Otoo who called u here to come n comment. We promised the people n we standing by our promise. Get off our page dumbass.
YES. Relocate it to Tadi. After all, all the oil and gas show is in the west coast, and logistics bases are also here. it will help decentralization, ease traffic in accra, create jobs in the western region, benefit the transport sector in takoradi (including road transport), increase flights to improve air transport business, increase real estate business in Ghana, spread development,(do the Houston example). Afterall, what are the advantages of having it in accra over tadi? none better. thank you Nana for thinking outside the box
Then what? Itis not the location of head ffices that matters but the work that is done in those head offices. These your populist promises will give us nothing. Relocation just to let the chiefs see that GNPC is in Western Region then what? Where is the head office of Ghana Managanese company? I think all head offices should be relocated to where their extractive business is taking place. Lame policy
Cocoboard also requires relocation from Accra.
