Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, leader and founder of the Movement for Change and the 2024, independent presidential candidate for the Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC), has, in a bold and ambitious move, unveiled a transformative plan to harness the vast food production potential of the five northern regions, positioning them as the food basket of West Africa.
“The kind of food production potential we have in the five regions is immense,” Mr. Kyerematen stated. “By harnessing this potential, the north cannot only achieve self-sufficiency but also become a major supplier of food across West Africa.”
Mr. Kyerematen emphasized the need to empower local youth with skills and resources, saying, “The youth of the northern part of our great nation need jobs and skills empowerment within their respective regions, not training centers elsewhere. Empowering local youth will help build and develop their local economy. The North deserves better.”
The development plan emphasizes building robust agricultural infrastructure and supporting farmers with modern techniques and resources. “The north deserves better,” Mr. Kyerematen affirmed. “By investing in local talents and resources, we aim to create a sustainable and thriving agricultural sector that benefits everyone in the regions.”
This visionary plan is expected to have a ripple effect, enhancing the overall quality of life and reducing socioeconomic disparities between the north and other parts of the country.
