The Tamale South Legislator and member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Harunah Iddrisu, has cut sod for the construction of a road project at Nalung/Bilpela Fong estimated to cost 12 billion old cedis.
The project when completed would link the Nalung/Bilpela farming community to other parts of the Northern Region to improve the socio-economic wellbeing of residents.
The Member of Parliament, who is also Minister for Communications, assured the nation of government’s commitment to build strong and vibrant State institutions in line with the “Better Ghana Agenda” and therefore urged Ghanaians to have hope in the President John Mills’ administration.
Mr. Iddrisu bemoaned that that part of his Constituency (Nalung/Bilpela) had been neglected by successive governments including the past PNDC administration in terms of roads and other social amenities and said that informed his decision to pump the 12 Billion old Ghana cedis into such a project in fulfillment of his campaign promise in 2008.
The Minister renewed his promise to connect all satellite communities in the Tamale South Constituency to the National Electrification Grid before the end of the four year term of the NDC.
He also pledged to improve the health status of his constituents by building modern sanitary facilities in communities in his Constituency that lacked such facilities.
He praised residents of Tamale and its environs for the stable peace they were enjoying and encouraged them to co-exist peacefully to attract potential investors to the region.
The Mayor of Tamale, Alhaji Abdulai Harunah Friday for his part said government would put the economy of the nation on track and cited communities such as Kapkpagyili, Banvim, Malshegu and Kalariga as among four communities that had been earmarked by the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly to benefit from similar projects.
Alhaji Friday however appealed to residents of Tamale to honour their tax obligations and also refine their language when contributing to radio discussions.
