Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has assured the Kpembewura that the NPP government is well aware of the area’s development challenges and are hard at work on it with many projects underway.
According to him, there is no other government than can point to as many development programs in the Savannah region as the NPP.
The Vice President revealed during a speech at the Kpembewura’s palace in Kpembe that the NPP government is surely awake to their developmental challenges and working to ensure all projects underway are completed.
“I want to let you know that we are not sleeping as far as the development challenges of Savannah and the Salaga area in particular are concerned. In me, you have a son who will follow up on all of these issues you have raised and you have other very strong children who are also here. I’m going to work with all my brothers and sisters so that we can deliver on the development for Salaga and Savannah,” Dr Bawumia told the Kpembewura.
The Vice President disclosed that the Kpembe Nursing Training College has been given approval by the Ministry of Health to run BSc in Nursing and BSc in Public Health and approval by the Ghana Tertiary Education Council should enable the courses to start next year.
Dr. Bawumia added that the construction of the 71km Fufulso-Bunjai Road, which was commenced after the creation of the region, is currently 68% complete.
When completed, the road will connect the East Gonja to the West Gonja areas without the need to go through Tamale and therefore cut travel time dramatically.
