1D1F initiative is one of the revolutionary interventions since independence – Alan Kyerematen
The 1D1F initiative was part of the manifesto of the National Patriotic Party (NPP) way back in 2016. It’s been almost six (6) years since the NPP assumed office thus from 7th January, 2017 and from the statement made by the president, only a little over one-third of the factories under the initiative have been completed.
Devoid of any political lens or affiliations, the question is: Could the current governing NPP administration succeed with the 1D1F initiative if it had only a term which is four (4) years to govern or the 1D1F initiative was a plan for two terms which is eight (8) years?
