The Kasena Nankana West District in the Upper East Region, is getting it’s fair share of the National Democratic Congress, NDC government’s developmental projects, and as a result, the Member of Parliament for Chiana Paga, Hon. Nikyema Billa Alamzy, and the District Chief Executive, Hon. Stephen Aeke Akurugu , the District physical and development planners, Engineers, the coordinator and a team of contractors have been cutting sod for construction of many developmental projects for the people, to improve their lives. Some of the projects to be constructed now are; 3-unit classroom for the people of Boania, Drilling and Solar Mechanization of a borehole for Paga SHS, and construction of a Maternity block, for Mirigu Health Centre. At one of the sod- cutting ceremonies in Boania, the MP stated that, the NDC’S government is for the poor and vulnerable, and will continue to help them, especially in the area of education of their children, and as a campaign promise, they are back to fulfill that request from the Boania people, because they understand the benefits of education. He expressed his frustrations about land acquisition and the encroachment of government lands which is hindering development, and pleaded with them to avoid that, to accelerate development .
The Kasena Nankana West District Chief Executive, Hon. Stephen Aeke Akurugu, underscored the importance of their votes for the NDC’S government, and that is why they are there to thank them with a 6-unit classroom, starting with the phase one 3-unit classroom, because the educational needs of Boania are very unique such that they will not want to go and come back and with that intervention the school will produce a lot of different professionals for the society. He also urged them to avoid land litigation and support the contractor to do a good job.
Mr. Raphael Pareyeweh Kupanamo, on behalf of the Kasena Nankana West District Director of Education, advised the community people against the materials theft, and rather work with the contractor to deliver a good work to improve their children educational fortunes. The Headteacher of Boania D/A Primary , on behalf of the his staff and the pupils, thanked the MP, the DCE, and the Central government, for considering them out of many communities demands. He said as a direct beneficiary, he knows the challenges facing them, which they have been reporting to the office, and expressed his profound gratitude to them and pledged their continued support to the contractor to deliver a quality work . A community leader, Mr.Solomon Awariwe, on behalf of the Chiefs and people of Boania expressed his sincerest gratitude to the MP and the DCE for the project and promised their full commitment to the contractor.
