The administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been praised by the Northern Regional House of Chiefs for the many development initiatives that the region has witnessed since the government took office.
Currently in the Northern Region as part of his statewide meetings with key stakeholders, including traditional leaders, is Dr. Bawumia, the NPP flagbearer for this year’s election.
During his meeting with the Northern Regional House of Chiefs on Thursday, Ndan Ya-Naa Naa Abukari II, the President of the House, welcomed Dr. Bawumia to the region and expressed gratitude to the NPP government for the emergence of “monumental” development projects and for Dr. Bawumia’s support and contribution to the region’s development.
“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,” the Ya Naa said, in his speech, read in his presence.
‘We value your efforts, notably the peace and monumental projects in the region,” added the Ya Naa, who went on to list some of the projects.
“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 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.
The Ya Naa highlighted certain concerns and urged Dr. Bawumia to push for the completion of several projects, such the Tamale and Yendi Water Supply projects, in seriousness, even as they praised the administration and the Vice President.
The Ya Naa officially congratulated Dr. Bawumia on his historic election as the NPP flagbearer and sent him best wishes for his ascent to the presidency on behalf of the Northern Regional House of Chiefs.
“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.
