During an address to fisherfolk in the Western Region, the NPP’s flagbearer expressed concern over the numerous challenges facing the fishing sector and pledged to implement a comprehensive strategy to optimize fisheries resources from the sea.
Bawumia outlined that the strategy would provide support to industrial, semi-industrial, and artisanal players in the industry to tackle the identified issues effectively.
Dr. Bawumia additionally pledged to advance female involvement in the fishing sector. He emphasized that his administration would strive to elevate the representation of women in the sector, aiming to surpass the 40 percent benchmark recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization.

“I am from a fishing community; I believe that Bawumia’s promise to implement policies to promote and maximize our fishery resources from the sea, inland, and aquaculture will bring about a significant change for my people, offering them new opportunities and a better future. His vision is a game-changer for us, and I am excited to see how it will unfold. Let’s vote for Bawumia and the NPP on December 7th to ensure the implementation of this policy, which will benefit fishing communities and Ghanaians.
“Your vote will make it possible!”
