President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has indicated that one of the reasons for the creation of the new Regions was to accelerate the process of development to all parts of the country.
Reiterating his commitment to constructing some 1,500 kilometers of asphalt roads in 2021, he assured the Yagbonwura that the Savannah Region will be a beneficiary of this project, and re-assured the Overlord of Gonja that the construction of the Savannah Regional House of Chiefs will also commence in earnest.
Nana Akufo-Addo said this when he paid a courtesy call on the Overlord of Gonja, the Yagbonwura, Tutumba Boresa Sulemana Jakpa, on Sunday, July 11, 2021, to thank him and the Region for the support offered the New Patriotic Party in the 2020 elections.
President Akufo-Addo also visited the site of the construction of a new 3-Storey Regional Co-coordinating Council (RCC) Administration Block for the Savannah Region, located at Damongo.
The RCC building is currently 70% complete, with concrete works, blockwork, plastering works, roofing, door frame, electrical pipework, and cabling and plumbing pipework all completed.
Indeed, in line with directives of the President to ensure a spatial allocation of state institutions in the newly created regions, a 2-Storey Administration block for Regional Education Directorate is also being constructed at Damongo, a 2-Storey Administration block for Regional Health Directorate at Daboya, a 2-Storey Administration block for Regional Agric Directorate at Bole, and a 2-storey Administration block for Regional Feeder Roads Department at Salaga.
