He added that the President's bold decision to create new regions indicated that the Government's process of national reconstruction was under way.
Nana Owusu Acheaw Brempong I expressed my optimism that soon Ghanaians would benefit from the Planting for Food and Jobs and One-District One Factory projects.
He then called on the government to tackle the perennial problem of water in the region.
The council presented to the president a male cow and 200 yam tubers in order to initiate him as a member of Owusu Asare stool, in accordance with the tradition of the people of Atebubu.
The president made a four-day working visit to the Bono, Northeast, and Ahafo regions.
