Collaborate with security agencies to prevent terrorist attacks – Akufo-Addo.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged the people of Mamprugu in the North East Region to work effectively with security agencies to combat terrorist activities in the area.
He stressed the importance of remaining vigilant and keeping an eye out for potential terrorists in the area.
The call was made by President Akufo-Addo yesterday during a courtesy call on the Overlord of Mamprugu Traditional Area, Nayiri Mahami Bohagu Sheriga, at his palace in Nalerigu.
The visit was part of the President's working visits to the regions to get to know the people and assess the performance of his administration across the country.
"Collaborating with security agencies would ensure the country's peace and stability," he emphasized.
He stated that terrorist attacks were taking place in Burkina Faso, which was very close to the country, thus the need to support security agencies in order to protect the country's integrity and sovereignty.
The President went on to say that it was the responsibility of every Ghanaian to be aware of terrorist activities, particularly those closer to the country's borders.
He assured the chiefs of the Mamprugu Traditional Area that development projects in the region would continue.
He also added that about 11 road projects had been completed and 61 were currently ongoing.
Nana Akufo-Addo reiterated his government’s commitment to ensuring that development got to every corner of the North East Region.
He also praised the Nayiri for his role in bringing lasting peace to Dagbon and urged him to repeat the feat in bringing peace to Bawku.
As part of the tour, the President also dedicated new office complexes for the North East Regional Coordinating Council (NERCC) and the National Youth Employment Agency.
The Nayiri, for his part, praised the government for granting them the region.
He stated that the formation of the region had resulted in a number of infrastructure developments in the area.
"We will be eternally grateful to President Akufo-Addo and his administration for opening the doors of the North East Region to the entire world," he said.
