President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has donated an amount of one hundred thousand cedis (GHc 100,000) to the Apiate explosion support fund set up by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to assist the affected persons in the community.
President Akufo-Addo made the donation to the fund after interacting with the five-member committee constituted by the Land and Natural Resources Minister to steer the affairs of the Fund when they paid a courtesy call on him at the Jubilee House.
While noting that it was gratifying to know the kind of people who have accepted to be members of the committee, the President urged them to make the rebuilding of the Apiate community their topmost priority.
“This project has to succeed and as always, it has to begin with the money. If there is no money you cannot move on,” President Akufo-Addo said.
