Sissala Union congratulate Alhaji Hamidu Sulemana on his confirmation as Minister of Roads and Highways

Story: Benjamin Xornam Glover, Bolgatanga The Sissala Union has congratulated the Alhaji Hamidu Sulemana on his nomination, vetting and subsequent swearing in as the substantive Minister for Roads and Highways. A statement signed by Dr. Roger A. L. Kanton, President of the Union and copied to the Daily Graphic in Bolgatanga, the union also expressed their gratitude to the President, Mr John Dramani Mahama for choosing their son to head this rather important and heavy demanding Ministry. "Your choice for the job we sincerely believe is driven by your commitment to duty, hard work coupled with the Presidents desire to get the very deplorable roads in the Upper West Region fixed during his tenure of office." The Union said. They recalled, the recent armed robbery incident, which the Minister was unfortunately a victim of and said it could be traced to the highly unmotorable nature of the roads in the region, thereby making the roads of the region a haven for criminal elements who have now taken over the road network of the entire region. They therefore tasked the minister to "on behalf of your brothers and sisters in the Upper West Region to give your top most priority to the Bolgatanga-Tumu-Wa highway, which though the umbilical cord of the two Upper Regions yet the most impassable in the country." They expressed the hope that given background of Alhaji Hamidu Sulemana, who is the member of Parliament for the Sissala West Constituency and also the immediate past Upper West Regional Minister, he will use his training as a Mechanical Engineer to rise to the task given him by assisting the President in his pursuit of the Better Ghana Agenda of the National Democratic Congress Party. "The Union would also like to use this medium to assure you of the unflinching support of all Sissala both in and outside Ghana in every way we possibly can in making your work at this very demanding Ministry a memorable one." They assured. -END-
