The Northern Regional House of Chiefs has commended the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the government’s numerous development projects in the Northern Region.
Dr. Bawumia, who is also NPP flagbearer, is in the Northern Region as part of his nationwide engagement with stakeholders including traditional leaders.
Welcoming Dr. Bawumia into the Region during his interaction with the Northern Regional House of Chiefs on Thursday, Ndan Ya-Naa Naa Abukari II, President of the Northern Regional House of Chiefs, said the Region appreciates the NPP government for the springing up of what he called “monumental” development projects as well as Dr. Bawumia’s support and contributions to the progress of the Region.
“We feel and appreciate the impact your government has made in the last seven years of good governance, working to improve the living conditions of our people…We value your efforts, notably the peace and monumental projects in the Region”, the Ya Naa said.
He listed some of the projects saying “mention is made of a few, particularly the state-of-the-art Sports stadium in our present locality, the ongoing construction of a multi-purpose Sports centre for the gallant men and women of the Ghana Armed Forces, the Tamale International Airport, the interchange in our Regional capital among many others”.
The Ya Naa continued that the government’s development projects have positively impacted on the Region by creating job opportunities for the youth.
“These projects have employed many youth, lessened the hardships of several families and contributed to reducing youth unemployment in the country,” he noted.
While commending the government and the Vice President, the Ya Naa appealed to Dr. Bawumia to push for some other projects such as the Tamale and Yendi Water Supply projects.
The Ya Naa, on behalf of the Northern Regional House of Chiefs, formally congratulated Dr. Bawumia on his historic election as NPP Flagbearer and wished him well in his pursuit to become President of Ghana.
