The People of Upper East Region May Cry ‘Had I Known’ if Pwalugu Bridge Collapses– Gabriel Agambila

In the Upper East Region of Ghana, a ticking time bomb threatens to cut off the region from the rest of the country. The Pwalugu Bridge, the only accessible road linking the region to most parts of the country, is on the verge of collapse. Apexnewgh reports This alarming situation has caught the attention of Mr. Gabriel Agambila, an opinion leader in the Diaspora, who is sounding the alarm bells. The Pwalugu Bridge is more than just a road; it’s a lifeline that connects the Upper East Region to the northern regions, facilitating the transportation of goods to and from Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali. However, this critical infrastructure has been neglected for over 40 years, with no major maintenance works undertaken. The consequences of the bridge’s collapse would be catastrophic. A trip that currently takes one hour to the northern region would take a staggering seven hours, effectively cutting off the region from the rest of the country. The economic and social implications would be dire, leaving the people of the Upper East Region to cry “had I known.” Mr. Agambila is appealing to the authorities to take immediate action to address the situation. “I’m calling on the authorities to take a closer look at the bridge and get it fixed before disaster strikes,” he urged. He’s also asking people from the region to take a drive to the bridge and see firsthand the deterioration of the bridge. As the clock ticks closer to disaster, it’s imperative that the authorities take heed of Mr. Agambila’s warning and act swiftly to repair the Pwalugu Bridge. The people of the Upper East Region are counting on it. Source: Apexnewgh.com Contact:+233256336062/+233248250270

UER: Interior Ministry Snubs Offer for Temporal Passport Office Proposal by Alagumgube

The Upper East Region is facing a daunting challenge in applying for passports, this is because since 1957 till date, the region cannot boast of a single room called ‘Passport Office’ and it’s a situation that has become a “shameful and embarrassing” for the leadership of Alagumgube a Ghanaian diaspora community in the United States of America. Apexnewsgh reports According to Mr. Gabriel Agambila, President of the Organization Alagumgube, the difficulties encountered by the people of the Upper East Region in applying for and renewing their passports are alarming. The problem is so dire that people are risking their lives traveling to Tamale and Wa in the Upper West Region just to apply for and renew their passports. This has prompted Mr. Agambila to write a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requesting their permission and intervention on a pressing matter. However, he further revealed his plea seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Despite his efforts, he has not received any response or acknowledgment from the Ministry. As a leader hungry for the welfare of his people, Mr. Agambila is eager to resolve this issue, he had hoped that the Ministry would take his request seriously and provide the necessary assistance. But the silence from the Ministry has left him feeling ignored and disheartened. To address this issue, Mr. Agambila and members of Alagumgube are offering to provide temporary office space for passport applications in the region. The organization is also willing to provide computers to facilitate the application process until a permanent office is constructed by the government. The Upper East Region, with a population of over 1.3 million people, is one of the most populous regions in Ghana. Despite this, the region lacks a dedicated passport office, forcing residents to rely on alternative, often inconvenient, options. Mr. Agambila’s offer to provide temporary support is a welcome gesture, but unfortunately, such a gesture can only be materialized with the cooperation of the Interior Ministry. Unfortunately, the construction of the Passport Application office which was started over 2 years ago has not seen the light of the day. The Project is currently abandoned with no sign of work going on. Painfully, CSOs in the Upper East Region are comfortable with such unfortunate development. Source: Apexnewsgh.com

Gabriel Agambila Pushes for Made-in-Ghana Fabrics in Schools and Government

Gabriel Agambila, a respected opinion leader in the Ghanaian diaspora community in the USA, is championing a cultural initiative to promote traditional Ghanaian attire in schools and government institutions. Apexnewsgh reports Mr. Agambila’s vision is to see students and government officials proudly donning Made-in-Ghana fabrics like Fugu, Kente, and Tie and Dye. He proposes that all schools adopt these traditional fabrics as their official attire, fostering a sense of national identity and cultural pride among students. He further suggests that government institutions make it mandatory to wear these fabrics every Friday, dubbed “Traditional Friday.” To take it a step further, Mr. Agambila advocates for parliamentarians to wear traditional Ghanaian attire at least twice a week during parliamentary sessions. This move aims to showcase Ghana’s rich cultural heritage and promote unity among lawmakers. Mr. Agambila’s initiative is a call to action, encouraging Ghanaians to take pride in their cultural roots and showcase their unique identity to the world. By embracing traditional attire, Ghanaians can demonstrate their appreciation for the country’s history and heritage. This initiative has the potential to boost Ghana’s textile industry, support local artisans, and preserve traditional craftsmanship. It’s a step towards cultural revitalization and a celebration of Ghanaian identity. Mr. Gabriel Agambila’s initiative to promote traditional Ghanaian attire is gaining momentum. To ensure its success, he proposes stringent measures to encourage adherence. Parliamentarians who fail to wear traditional fabrics like Fugu, Kente, or Tie and Dye on designated days will forfeit their daily sitting allowances. Similarly, government employees dressed in non-Ghanaian attire on Fridays will lose their daily wages. To further boost this movement, he suggests that churches and mosques in the country dedicate the last Sunday of every month to showcase traditional fabrics. This showcase is not just about displaying vibrant colors and patterns but also about empowering the weaving industry, which has long been neglected by the state. Mr. Agambila believes that, by embracing traditional attire, Ghanaians can inject life into the struggling weaving industry. “Thousands of students have been trained in vocational schools and informal settings, yet their skills remain underappreciated”. Agambila’s proposal aims to change this narrative. After proposing that schools and government institutions adopt Made-in-Ghana fabrics like Fugu, Kente, and Tie and Dye as official attire, he’s now urging the next parliament to pass this initiative into law. This move aims to sustain the weaving industry, which has long been neglected by the state. However, Mr. Gabriel Agambila further expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated members of ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL. According to him, this newly inaugurated organization has already made waves, with representatives traveling across all 50 US states and Canada to spread its mission. He praised the tireless efforts of these individuals, who took time from their busy schedules to embark on this ambitious journey. Their dedication has paved the way for a brighter future. With a growing membership of over 200, Mr. Agambila announced plans for ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL’s first anniversary celebration. He said, this momentous occasion promises to be massive, with representatives from Europe and other countries around the world joining in. “The stage is set for a global reunion,” Mr. Agambila exclaimed. “We will unite, share our achievements, and forge new connections. Our first anniversary will be a testament to our collective strength and determination.” As ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL continues to expand its reach, Mr. Agambila encouraged members to begin making preparations for this grand celebration. The event will not only commemorate the organization’s milestones but also chart a course for future growth and collaboration. With its diverse membership and global ambitions, ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL is poised to make a lasting impact. Under Agambila’s leadership, this dynamic organization is writing a new chapter in the story of cultural exchange and cooperation.

Repurpose Galamsey Equipment for our feeder& Rural Roads, don’t burn them—Gabriel Agambila offer free advice to security forces

Mr. Gabriel Agambila, a prominent figure in the Ghanaian diaspora community in the USA who doubles as the President of ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL, has emerged as a beacon of hope in the fight against galamsey, or illegal gold mining, in Ghana. Apexnewsgh reports His innovative approach to addressing this longstanding issue has captured the attention of many. Having witnessed the devastating consequences of galamsey on Ghana’s environment, Mr. Agambila is championing a novel solution. He urges the security personnel tasked with combating galamsey to reconsider their approach. Instead of destroying seized equipment, he proposes redistributing it to underprivileged district assemblies to upgrade rural roads, which are notorious for posing serious safety hazards. Galamsey has taken a severe toll on Ghana’s environment, particularly in the Western Region, where ecological damage is widespread. The need to reclaim lands and water bodies destroyed by galamsey is estimated to be a staggering $250 million. Mr. Agambila’s vision is clear: to repurpose seized equipment for the greater good. By redirecting these resources, rural communities can benefit from improved infrastructure, enhancing safety and economic prospects. His approach not only addresses the environmental fallout of galamsey but also contributes to rural development, tackling two pressing issues at once. Galamsey has brought about environmental devastation, economic consequences, and social impact. However, Mr. Agambila’s initiative offers a ray of hope. The repurposing of seized equipment for rural road development, coupled with the empowerment of district assemblies and environmental recovery, could mark a turning point in the fight against galamsey. Mr. Agambila’s appeal is not just a call for change but a tangible solution that could uplift Ghana’s rural communities and mitigate the harm caused by galamsey. His vision holds the promise of sustainable development and a brighter future for the country.

Gabriel Agambila and Alagumgube community condemns act against Pokua, extends calls for human rights intervention

Gabriel Agambila, a member of the newly formed Alagumgube community, has condemned the treatment of a Ghanaian media personality Pokua at the Ahenfie. Apexnewsgh reports The lady was tormented, humiliated, and traumatized, and her apology was rejected. Mr. Agambila expressed outrage, highlighting the irony that 40% of those involved trace their lineage to the north, yet targeted the media lady’s background. He criticized the elders’ actions, contrasting them with the more enlightened views of the king, who is well-traveled. “Racial profiling has no place in our society,” Agambila emphasized. “We in the diaspora have fought tirelessly against this injustice, only to see it happen in our own backyard.” Mr. Agambila further questioned how to combat such behavior among those in positions of authority. “If the king were present, I doubt Pokua would have faced such humiliation,” he said, praising the monarch’s progressive views. He also addressed Pokua’s father, saying, “We condemn your failure to share your daughter’s roots with her.” He encouraged Pokua to explore her Bolga heritage, promising a warm welcome as a true daughter of the region. However, following what has been described by many as humiliation, Mr. Agambila and Alagumgube community are appealing to global human rights organizations to join the fight against this inhumane treatment. “We urge parents to teach their children about their heritage, ensuring they know their roots and aren’t disowned by their community,” he stressed.

Ghana’s Stadium Woes: A Blow to Football Pride– Gabriel Agambila

Renowned Ghanaian citizen, Gabriel Agambila, based in the United States, has expressed his disappointment and frustration over Ghana’s subpar stadium facilities. Despite winning the African Cup of Nations four times, Ghana lacks a suitable stadium to host international qualifiers. Apexnewsgh reports “It’s a disgrace that Ghana, with its rich football history, cannot boast of a decent field,” Agambila said. “How much does it cost to install sprinklers? I can easily do that and water the field three times a day.” Agambila criticized the Sports Council for failing to maintain the fields, despite employing grounds men. He compared Ghana’s facilities unfavorably to those in neighboring countries like Burkina Faso and Niger, which have standard fields despite harsher climates. “This is not just about football; it’s about national pride,” Agambila emphasized. “If we don’t get a suitable stadium, Ghana will never excel in international competitions. We’re not serious about sports.” Agambila urged the Sports Council to prioritize sports activities over renting facilities to political parties, musicians, funerals, and churches. “These facilities are meant for sports, not events,” he said. “Use the AstroTurf for non-sporting activities and keep our stadiums sacred for sports.” He cited Burkina Faso and other countries as examples, where stadiums are reserved exclusively for sports. “Let’s take our sports seriously and invest in our facilities,” Agambila concluded. “Ghana deserves better.” Source: Apexnewsgh.com/Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen/+233256336062

Massive Durbar of Chiefs Staged by U.S.-Based Son of Upper East’s Gabriel Agambila at UER Airport Site

Chairman of the Upper East Airport Development Committee Gabriel Agambila, a U.S.-based son of the Upper East Region, has organized a durbar of chiefs and residents at the proposed airport site in Anateem Sumbrungu, in the Bolgtanga Municipality of the Upper East Region. The Upper East Regional airport has faced challenges for over 30 years, with politicians from the NDC and NPP parties using it for political purposes. Despite promises made by President Akufo-Addo and his party during the 2016 campaign of making he completes the Upper East Regional Airport, the situation surrounding the airport still remains unchanged and stagnant. The Paramount Chief of the Sakoti Traditional Area, Naba Sigri Bewong, on behalf the chiefs, Tindaamas and well-meaning residents of the region reminded President Nana Akuffo Addo of his promise to build the airport during the durbar of Chiefs. “We would like to remind President Nana Akuffo Addo of his promise to complete the airport if elected into power, as he stated during his visit to the Sumbrungu Chiefs Palace and the One-Village-One-Dam project launch in Bongo. As his second term is coming to an end, we kindly appeal to him to honor his promise and allocate resources to continue and complete the construction of the airport”. The Chief emphasized the frustration and despair felt by the people of the Upper East Region, as it is the only region without a functional airport. The Chiefs expressed their disappointment in successive governments’ lack of political and financial commitment to the project, and urged the President to honor his promise and allocate resources for its construction. They also called for a revisit of the technical assessments and the development of partnerships with private investors. The Chiefs highlighted the need for an airport to attract investment and drive development in the region, particularly due to the discovery of valuable resources. They commended the efforts of the Upper East Regional Minister and called on all individuals to support the cause. The durbar of chiefs at the airport site was described the largest since the project began in the 1970s and 80s. The Upper East Regional Minister expressed his determination to see the construction of an airport in the region. He reaveled that his efforts has brought investors from France, Morocco, and China. He emphasized the unity of the people and called for their support in bringing an airport to the Upper East Region. “Am very glad that now, I will not be fighting for the airport alone, I will be fighting it with all these people behind me and am very pleased. Now, I know that the chiefs and the people of Upper East are all behind me, I know that both NPP, NDC, CPP and those who don’t even belong to any party are behind me. So, let us fight together, let us bring airport to Upper East because we also deserve to also drive for few kilometers to come here and also take a plane to Accra or anywhere else”. The Minister said Gabriel Agambila, Chairman of the Airport Development Committee, expressed his disappointment with politicians who have consistently used the promise of an airport in the Upper East Region as a means to gain votes during elections. He shared the story of a foreign investor he had brought to the region, who ultimately decided to establish his business in Accra instead. This missed opportunity would have provided much-needed employment for the youth and residents of the region. It must again be noted that, government identified and compulsorily acquired 7051.44 acres or 2,8853.72 hacters of this land for the development of an airport for the region in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s after the proximity of Paga airstrip to Ghana’s boarder with Burkina Faso made it diplomatically and security-wise unsuitable for military and civil aviation purposes. When this land was identified, the Chiefs and Tindaama of this community in the spirit of development and patriotic nationalism, willingly released the land for the project and relocated at their cost. Farmlands and other economic trees such trees such as Shea nuts trees were destroyed to pave way for the projects and hence rendered many farmers and women economically inactive since their source of livelihoods were dependent on farmlands and economic trees. Madam Caroline Kurugu, Secretary to the committee, the Bongo chief, regional chief Imam, and other dignitaries from the region were also present at the event.
