Dr Archibald Yao Letsa, the Volta Regional Minister, has said the region has immense potential to transform not only itself but also the entire country, if adequately harnessed and utilised.
He said the region was an attractive destination for investment, particularly agriculture and tourism.
Dr Letsa, who was speaking at the second Regional Coordinating Council meeting, asked various stakeholders to continue to build on the successes chalked by the region to create decent livelihoods for the people.
Considering the recent events in some parts of the country, he said the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC) had taken preventive measures to promote dialogue between the leadership of the two main political parties.
The Minister said the VRCC had also directed the Municipal and District Security Councils to engage local party leadership, which had yielded positive results.
Dr Letsa urged the Councils to continue their engagement to facilitate a smooth transition process and work to ensure that the next government established itself quickly to begin its duties effectively.
He thanked the chiefs and people of the region for their support and cooperation during his tenure, and the heads of departments and agencies for implementing government policies, initiatives and activities during the period.
