He insisted that President Mahama ought to fulfill his long awaited promise. Musah Abdul Aziz explained that, the Zaabuni youth for development group was established as a bipartisan group to advance the transformational agenda of Mamprugu land.

He thereby cautioned politicians against any attempt to take advantage of the group for partisan benefits.

He further advised all members to be guided by the group’s constitution to achieve the purpose of its establishment.

Musah Abdul Aziz bemoaned the falling standards of education, inadequate water supply and the high HIV/AIDs prevalence rate as some of the area’s

developmental challenges.

He called for a multifaceted approach to solve some of these problems. District Chief Executive for West Mamprusi, David Wuni, inaugurated the group and assured its leadership of the assembly’s partnership.
