The Northern Regional House of Chiefs has praised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for their administration’s numerous development initiatives in the region.
Dr. Bawumia, also the NPP Flagbearer for the upcoming election, is currently engaging with key stakeholders, including traditional leaders, as part of his nationwide tour.
During his visit to the Northern Regional House of Chiefs, Ndan Ya-Naa Naa Abukari II expressed gratitude for what he termed ‘monumental’ development projects and the support provided by Dr. Bawumia towards the region’s progress.
“We feel and appreciate the impact your government has made in the last seven years, working to enhance the living conditions of our people,” said the Ya Naa, as he highlighted the significance of peace and infrastructure projects in the region.
Among the highlighted projects are the state-of-the-art sports stadium, the ongoing construction of a multi-purpose sports center for the Ghana Armed Forces, the Tamale International Airport, and the regional capital’s interchange.
The Ya Naa indicated that the government’s development projects in the Northern Region have impacted positively on the region by creating 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 also expressed some concerns and appealed to Dr. Bawumia to push for some projects, like the Tamale and Yendi Water Supply projects, to complete in earnest.
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, as he seeks to lead the country as President.
“I wish you a happy and prosperous campaign. May Allah Azza Wa Jal (Owner of Greatness) grant you the opportunity to serve in the highest office of the land,” he added.
