President John Dramani Mahama has revealed that government will introduce a program to give cars to traditional rulers in the Upper East Region who will grow more trees.<\/p>\n
“I will personally donate a car to the chief whose traditional area is able to grow the most trees and I will let the regional minister James Zuugah Tiigah start designing a programme so that when we start, it will be a competition to see who can grow the most trees and I will personally donate\u00a0 a car to any of the paramount or divisional chiefs who will win this trophy,” president Mahama stated.<\/p>\n
The President made this known during his #ChangingLives tour in Bolgatanga.<\/p>\n
He said the Youth Employment Agency bill that has been passed by Parliament will recruit\u00a0 over 1000 \u00a0young people who will be provided with requisite skills for employment and creation of jobs.<\/p>\n
