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
NPP only record in the region is lies and deceits—David Agorogo
David Agorogo a retained communication officer for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Bolgatanga Central in the Upper East Region has described the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a party that has records of lies and deceit. Apexnewsgh.com report The Bolgatanga Central Communication Officer made the pronouncement during an engagement on Apexnews Ghana’s flagship development programme dubbed “SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST REGION” with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen on Monday, October 24, 2022. According to Mr. Agorogo, the NPP was never ready to construct an airport for the Upper East.“If is politics without development, then is meaningless. There is a need for us to do our politics for development reasons” He stated He said, even though there has been some ongoing comparison between the two main political parties in the region in terms of development, Mr. Agorogo said, “we will always admit that NDC is ahead of NPP when it comes to making provision for development in the Upper East Region”. He further revealed that, Under the NDC led by Prof. Mills and John Dramani Mahama, a sod was cut at Sumbrungu for the construction of the airport, and work done was about 25 percent completed and governance is also all about continuation and if any government starts a project and could not complete it and a new government comes in, there is need for the new government to continue it from there. He believes the NPP as a political party was trying to play smart on the people of the region by trying to incite the people of Navrongo and the BONABOTO zone together.However, Mr. Agorogo was very confident in mentioning that, NDC has given to the people of Upper East Region more than any other political party in the region, he mentioned brand new secondary schools, inner city road asphalted, and regional hospital insisting that they came in with the project.
