The Daily Graphic urges the government not to take concerns raised about the creation of new regions lightly, since, they may seem insignificant as far as numbers are concerned, nevertheless ignoring their fears can create a problem for the areas and Ghana at large in future. The paper says humans by nature hold dear their cultural ties therefore anything that comes in between may create fear that the bond that exists among people from a common ancestry will be broken. The paper encourages the affected people to resort to dialogue with the appropriate authorities for those apprehensions to be addressed.
The Ghanaian Times finds government’s efforts and initiatives to ensure increased production and improvement in revenue as a step in the right direction. It notes that the revenue accrued to the state, increased production and development of more oil blocks would result in employment opportunities for the Country’s teeming youths as well as growth in the national economy. The paper is hopeful that all companies with petroleum agreements would take serious view of the president’s directive to work in line with terms contained in the agreements and build the necessary partnerships for their explorations.
