Vice President and NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will commission the Walewale Watermelon Factory and the Walewale Central Mosque on Friday, November 22, 2024.

The factory, part of the 1D1F initiative, will process 10 metric tonnes of watermelon and juice beverages per hour, benefiting over 3,000 farmers in the area by reducing post-harvest losses and increasing incomes. Additionally, it will provide over 400 direct jobs for local youth.

The mosque’s opening coincides with Jummah prayers, with traditional leaders, Imams, and the community in attendance. Dr. Bawumia has consistently supported both Muslim and Christian communities nationwide through various initiatives.
