Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says policies and programmes being implemented by government are geared towards addressing the age-long issues of geographical exclusion from national development.
He noted that policies, such as the Free Senior High School, National Roll-Out of the Ghana Card, Digital Property Addressing System and the establishment of the three Development Authorities are designed to ensure that the challenges militating against nationwide access to development opportunities are addressed in a holistic manner and benefit all.
Dr. Bawumia outlined the rationale behind the policies when he addressed the ongoing 2018 Annual Conference of the Ghana Geographers Association and the Geography Teachers Association at the North Campus of the University of Education, Winneba which is focused on the theme “Geography- The Missing Link in Ghana’s Development Agenda?”
Vice President Dr. Bawumia also explained that having a unique national ID card is a prerequisite for any nation aspiring to modernise stressing that the Akufo-Addo led government is determined to ensure Ghana takes her place in the community of developed nations.
