President John Dramani Mahama has promised residents of the Savannah Region fast-tracked infrastructure projects aimed at boosting economic activity and enhancing quality of life.
He made the commitment during the 50th anniversary of the Gonjaland Youth Association (GYA) in Buipe on Sunday, April 5, where he served as the Special Guest of Honour. The gathering was themed, “Five Decades of Progress: Empowering Gonjaland Youth for the Future.” President Mahama revealed plans to build STEM institutions in Tinga and Busunu, and elevate every Senior High School in the area to Category A standard.
“Education is the bridge between where we are and where we aspire to be and so we are going to invest heavily in education in the Savannah Region,” he stated.
He also instructed the lawmaker for Yapei-Kusawgu, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, to supply a bus to Buipe Senior High School after a request from the Buipe paramount chief, Buipewura Abdulai Jinapor II.
Additionally, the President reiterated intentions to build a sports facility in Damongo, to be called the Savannah Sports Stadium, in order to encourage athletic growth in the area.
