Salaga (NR), June
22, GNA – Mr Mohammed Tamimu, the East Gonja Municipal Chief Executive (MCE)
has said the unstable electricity supply in the Municipality was a challenge
and was slowing down business activities.

He said the
challenge posed security threats to the people of the municipality especially
during the nights when there was power outage.

Mr Tamimu disclosed
this in a speech was read on his behalf at a Town Hall Meeting in Salaga
organised by the Ministry of Information in collaboration with the Municipal
Assembly.

The event was aimed
at sharing with the people of the municipality, the programmes and policies
that have been implemented by the government through the Municipality and to
also provide an opportunity for the people to seek clarifications on the
implemented policies and programmes.

He said the unstable
electricity power supply slowed down work and that there was the need to seek
lasting solution to the problem to increase productivity.

He mentioned,
numerous chieftaincy and boundary disputes in the area saying, “There also
exist numerous chieftaincy disputes as well as boundary disputes”, which needs
urgent attention for peace to prevail. 

Mr Tamimu said 20
dams have been earmarked for construction with seven under construction in the
municipality, under the government’s “One Village One Dam” policy. 

Farmers who were
present at the event also expressed concern about the fall army worm
infestation and asked for government’s intervention.

Alhaji Mohammed
Rufai, the East Gonja Municipal Coordinating Director, said the abuse of
tramadol among the youth in the municipality was becoming a serious problem and
appealed to all to collectively come together to end the canker.
