The founder and leaders of ALAGUMGUBE, along with its members, have express their heartfelt appreciation to the Government of Ghana, the President, and the Minister for Finance, Hon. Cassie Ato Forson, for the decision to finally construct the long-awaited Upper East Airport. According to Mr. Agambila, “this monumental achievement is a testament to the power of collective effort and dedication”. The people of Upper East are overjoyed and grateful to the government for fulfilling its promise of bringing an airport to the region. “For years, residents have yearned for a convenient and accessible means of air travel, and this development marks a significant milestone in our quest for regional development”. As the government moves forward with the construction project, ALAGUMGUBE, led by Mr. Gabriel Agambila, has been instrumental in ensuring that the process runs smoothly. The organization has been actively involved in facilitating access to the runway, working tirelessly to ensure that the project team has everything needed to complete the necessary work. “We are thrilled to have played a part in bringing this project to fruition,” said Mr. Agambila. “Our team has worked diligently to ensure that the runway is accessible, and we are proud to have contributed to this effort.” The recent heavy rains caused a setback, washing away a culvert leading to the runway. However, the people of the region, led by Mr. Alolga and the community, rallied together to repair the damage, demonstrating the power of community spirit and cooperation. ALAGUMGUBE has also been instrumental in facilitating the provision of a long-awaited Upper East Regional Passport Application Center, a service that had been denied to the people of Upper East since Ghana’s independence. With the efforts of Mr. Agambila and ALAGUMGUBE, residents of the region can now access passport services locally, without having to travel to Tamale or Wa. “We are committed to continuing our work with the government and other stakeholders to ensure the successful completion of the airport project,” said Mr. Agambila. “We believe that this airport will be a game-changer for the region, opening up new opportunities for economic growth and development.” The leadership of ALAGUMGUBE promises to continue working on the necessary documentation to hand over to the Ghana Airport Company, paving the way for the commencement of the project early next year. The people of Upper East are excited about the prospects of having an airport in their region, and we look forward to the many benefits it will bring. We thank the government, the President, and the Minister for Finance for listening to our pleas and taking action. We also thank Mr. Agambila and ALAGUMGUBE for their tireless efforts in making this dream a reality. As the project moves forward, we urge all stakeholders to continue working together to ensure its successful completion. Together, we can make Upper East a hub of economic activity and growth, and provide a better future for our children and grandchildren. Source: Apexnewsgh.com
It is so sad that the Upper East Region is consistently left out of national development–ALAGUMGUBE Founder
In a passionate plea, Mr. Gabriel Agambila, leader and founder of ALAGUMGUBE, has expressed deep disappointment over the consistent neglect of the Upper East Region in national development. ApexNewsGH reports “It is so sad that the Upper East Region is consistently left out of national development, while our 15 Members of Parliament remain in Accra, seemingly detached and inactive,” Agambila lamented, voicing the frustration shared by many community members. The bone of contention is the government’s decision to invest in ultra-modern sports facilities in the six newly created regions, while the Upper East Region still lacks a suitable sports stadium. According to Mr. Agambila, the absence of adequate facilities has had serious repercussions for local sports teams. The only football team from the Upper East that qualified for the premiership has been forced to play its home matches away from the region, alienating supporters and depriving the community of local game excitement. Lower division teams face similar challenges, causing stress for team owners hoping to develop successful soccer programs. ALAGUMGUBE is urging the President and the Minister of Sports to reconsider their decision and include the Upper East Region in plans for building sports facilities. “If this is not addressed, we will have no choice but to block all political activities in the region,” Agambila warned, highlighting the group’s commitment to equitable development. Agambila pointed out the glaring inequality: some newly established regions had sports facilities built prior to their creation, while the Upper East continues to be overlooked. As voices in the region grow more resolute, there’s growing hope that the government will act to ensure the Upper East isn’t left behind in sports development, fostering local talent and community pride.

Hon. Abiire Louds Alagumgube Association’s Efforts for Airport Devt in Upper East
The Assembly member for the Zorkor-Gamborongo electoral area, Hon. Awineyesema Abiire, has expressed his admiration for the Alagumgube Association, which has taken the lead in advocating for the establishment of an airport in the Upper East Region. Apexnewsgh reports Hon. Abiire’s praise flowed from the proactive initiatives of Alagumgube, which included organizing a grand durbar in 2024 and clearing the designated site for the airport. Heavy machinery has been busy grading the land, laying the groundwork for this significant development. The momentum for the airport project received a boost with visits from the CEO of the Airport Authority and former President John Dramani Mahama, both of whom have assured the residents that the project will come to fruition. “I salute the leadership of the Alagumgube Association,” Hon. Abiire remarked. “Their proactiveness, thoughtfulness, and action-oriented approach to local governance and development are commendable.” Interestingly, the Alagumgube Association is a relatively new entity, having been launched in New Jersey, USA, just in 2024 with Mr. Gaberiel Agambila as its founder. Its presence in the Upper East Region is even more recent, only two months old, but its impact has already been significant, resonating with the community. Before Alagumgube’s emergence, other organizations operated in the region, with some residents expressing disappointment in their performance, often mentioning BONABOTO as an example. Hon. Abiire addressed these concerns by highlighting that every organization has unique core values that shape its approach. “Every association has its own core values and methods. BONABOTO operates differently, focusing on building networks, facilitation, and silent lobbying,” he explained. As a call to action, Hon. Abiire encouraged the Upper East Youth Association to collaborate with both Alagumgube and BONABOTO, emphasizing the importance of unity in amplifying their voices for the betterment of the region. With the community rallying around these initiatives, there is a renewed sense of hope for the future of the Upper East Region and the long-awaited airport that promises to enhance connectivity and development. Hon. Abiire also believe that for those saying the region needs road, portable drinking water must understand that once an airport is built at Anateem in Sumbrungu, it will bring some other good development such as good roads, good drinking water, Hotels and more in the area.

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.
