MCE DONATES TO AIR BORNE FORCE IN BAWKU (PAGE 23)

THE Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Bawku, Mr Abdulai Abanga, has made a personal donation of a cow and 15 cartons of assorted drinks to personnel of the Air Borne Force (ABF) detachment on operational duties in Bawku.
Presenting the items, Mr Abanga said ever since the military started their operations in Bawku, they had discharged their duties with professionalism and had contained the conflict situation anytime there was renewed clashes.
He said the donation was to let the military know that the assembly and the entire Bawku community appreciated their efforts at maintaining peace in Bawku.
Mr Abanga admonished them not to be fed up with the situation on the ground but should be encouraged by the fact that other efforts, including peace talks were under way to ensure that peace was restored to the once vibrant commercial town.
Receiving the items, the officer commanding the ABF detachment in Bawku, Captain Victor Abbey, on behalf of his men, thanked the MCE for the donation.
Captain Abbey said it was refreshing and motivating to know that the people whom they were saving appreciated their efforts.
He promised that the military would continue to carry out their duties as required, and hoped that peace would soon return to Bawku.
