According to him, having some of these facilities in the region can easily attract investors into the region. He said Bolgatanga being a regional capital need to fight for the place to develop.
“I have taken this up already and working closely with the ministry concern, is not even only in Bolga, we have the old park in Bolga and we also have a very similar one in Bawku and these are the areas i think as a country, we have left it to rot and therefore am engaging with the powers, am talking with the Presidency to see what we can do to bring these things out. You know we are building a very good one in Navrongo, this is a regional capital so we should fight for that place to be developed. And these are some of the things when we do it, will also attract the investors to come here and invest”.
A regional sports stadium has been one of the priorities for the people of the Upper East Region over the years now. In the past, most politicians from the region have gotten the opportunity to construct a world-class sports stadium for the people of the region, but unfortunately, they failed due to reasons best known to them.
However, Mr. Yakubu is hopeful that his engagement with the ministry concerned will yield a good result.
