Mr Divine Bosson, the Ho Municpal Chief Executive says the City of Ho had no equal in terms of a healthy environment and sanitation proactiveness.

He explained that the area is a place where natural vegetation is maintained with flora and fauna not adversely compromised.

Mr Bosson made this known at the ongoing fifth Volta Trade and Investment Fair at the Ho Sports Stadium in Ho where business owners and other organisations have converged to do business as well as to market their products to the entire business community.

He said the Municipality and for that matter, the Volta regional capital is known as the ‘Oxygen City’ because of its greenery, unpolluted air, and generally espoused healthy and clean sanitary conditions.

“The Oxygen City is among others, the best place to be in terms of unmatched hospitality, cuisine, and tourist attractions,” he said.

Mr Bosson noted that it was their vision as Municipal Assembly to achieve development within the framework of political, economic, socio-cultural, and educational objectives and within the confines of public-private partnership in keeping with the best local government practice.

Among many sectors of economic potential in the Municipality, he said there are several soil groups in the area which could be placed into two major groups namely, forest soil and savannah soils.

On vegetation, Mr Bosson said the area has two main types of vegetation zones with the moist semi-deciduous forest covering mostly the hills and savannah woodland covering the rest.

On climate conditions, he stated temperatures were generally high throughout the year which is good for crop farming.

The Municipality has a total projected population of 177,281 comprising 83, 819 males and 93,462 females with Agriculture being the mainstay of the Municipality’s economy.

“The Municipality’s irrigation potential also remains untouched,” he added.

The economy is characterised by a large number of small-scale commercial and industrial activities such as fitting shops, carpentry, welding, and others.

There were other highlights of essential activities in the area during the Municipal and District Assembly’s profile reading session of the Fair.
