Mr Kwasi Owusu-Yeboa, Volta Regional Minister, has announced that the government has put in place a high-powered team to help tackle the development problems of the Volta Region.

The action is not a hoax, but a genuine effort of the Kufour’s Government to address the peculiar development problems of the region, he said adding, “it will not take a long time for the people of the region, to begin to see practical signs of this concern."

Mr Owusu-Yeboa made the announcement in an address read for him by the Deputy Volta Regional Minister, Mr. Kofi Dzamesi at the "Unity and Development" forum, held at the weekend by the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Branch of the Volta Region Students Association (VORSA) in Kumasi.

Mr Owusu-Yeboah said the success of the government's move in seeking pragmatic solutions to the development problems of the region, would depend on the attitude and support of the people coupled with the resources available.

He advised the people of the region to resolve to put an end to the numerous chieftaincy disputes and land litigation, since such acts only serve as destructive tools to development and is also resource consuming.
