Mayor of Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and Parliamentary aspirant for Ablekumma south on the ticket of the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Alfred Oko Vanderpuye has promised to build a sardine factory at Chorkor, a suburb of Greater Accra region.
According to the AMA boss, the initiative is part of numerous efforts to create jobs for the constituents if he is elected into as the Member of Parliament come December 7.
At a rally in the Ablekuma South, the AMA Chief Executive Officer indicated that history will be made when Chorkor, a fishing community in the Ablekuma South constituency begin the production of locally made sardines.
"I have told you people over and over again that the Chorkor Sardine will be made and produced in Chorkor. The whole of Accra will eat the Chorkor Sardine" he said.
Dr. Alfred Oko Vanderpuije prospected that, majority of the locally made sardines will be exported to generate more revenue for the fishermen.
He added that aside millennium schools being built in every town by the incumbent government, a vocational institute will be established to decrease unemployment in the society.
"We are not done yet with the construction of the millennium city schools because we will support and create more jobs for the youth by constructing a vocational school in Korle Gonno, to assist them in enhancing their skills in vocation".
Oko Vanderpuije promised more roads within the area if the Mahama-led government is retained in power.
"We are going to connect the old Winneba road to the Chemu lagoon to ensure smooth and quick movement to other neighbouring towns".
