THE people of Wamale and its surrounding areas in the Tamale metropolis are now enjoying electricity from the national grid.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale South, Mr Iddrisu Haruna, facilitated the realisation of the project.
The project is in fulfilment of the campaign promise of the MP during the last general election in 2008.
At the inaugural ceremony, Mr Haruna, who is also the Minister of Communications, also pledged his commitment to extend pipe-borne water to the communities, including Chanson and other satellite areas, to make potable water accessible to the people who have been relying on unwholesome dam water with its resultant diseases over the years.
He further unveiled plans to secure credit facilities to support women in his constituency to expand on their respective businesses, adding that the government was also importing large quantities of agricultural machinery into the country to boost the agricultural industry to create job opportunities for the large army of unemployed youth in northern Ghana.
He, however, appealed to the people to continue to co-exist peacefully with one another by putting aside their political, religious and chieftaincy differences and rather support the government to extend more development projects to the area.
The MP also commended the electorate for returning the NDC to power and assured them of the government’s desire to live up to its campaign promises.
The chief of Wamale, Naa Abdulai Alhassan thanked the minister for his exemplary leadership and concern for the people in his constituents and beyond.
He entreated Mr Iddrisu to further assist them to construct public places of convenience, rumble strips on the Yendi Road and other basic necessities the area lacked.
