The Northern Regional Minister, Alhaji Shani Alhassan Siabu, has announced a remarkable 98% transition rate from Junior High School (JHS) to Senior High School (SHS) for the 2023\/2024 academic year.<\/p>\n

This achievement is attributed to the Free SHS Policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Free SHS Policy has been a game-changer,\u201d Siabu stated at the Northern Regional Town Hall Meeting and Exhibition. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to ensuring every child has access to quality education.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event, held at the GNAT Hall in Tamale, brought together government officials, stakeholders, and citizens to discuss regional progress.<\/p>\n

Food Grants for Farmers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, Muhammed Hardi Tufeiru, announced the distribution of food grants to over 800,000 farmers in eight affected regions, starting October 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative will help farmers recover from the dry spell,\u201d Tufeiru explained.<\/p>\n

Bridging the Gap between Government and Citizens<\/p>\n

Minister for Information, Fatimatu Abubakar, emphasized the importance of town hall meetings in fostering trust and transparency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese meetings provide a platform for citizens to engage with government officials,\u201d Ms Abubakar said.<\/p>\n

The event showcased exhibitions highlighting government initiatives and projects in infrastructure, roads, healthcare, and education.<\/p>\n
