The Chiefs and people of Binduri, a farming community near Bawku in the Upper East Region has held a development forum in honour of Stephen Atubiga, a native and an illustrious son of the area based in the United State of America. The durbar was to officially welcome his return as he sets to invest and embark on developmental projects in the area. The occassion celebrated amidst drumming and dancing brought together natives of Binduri and its catchment area including opinion leaders, heads of departments, teachers, assembly members and religious leaders among other invited personalities. The Chief of the Binduri Traditional Area, Naba Agap-Wine Akolbila Robert was grateful for the exemplary vision of Mr. Atubiga since the area is saddled with numerous developmental challenges. He said the projects when finally embarked upon would ease the problem of youth unemployment in the area which will as well better the lot of the people. Naba Akolbila Robert, therefore charged the people to rally their support behind Mr. Atubiga as he rolls out his developmental agenda to complement the efforts of the government. Mr. Atubiga in a brief remark assured the people of his support in the area of development and stressed that efforts are being made to secure enough funding to cater for the projects to be undertaken in the area and called for their prayer and support in that regard. He also encouraged the people to maintain the prevailing peace in the area and also forge ahead to contribute their quota to the development of the area by throwing their weight behind the chiefs. Mr. Atubiga, moreover urged the youth to call on him for any assistance deem necessary. The Bawku Municipal Chief Executive, Musa Abdullai in a speech read for him advised the people to take advantage of the developmental programmes and policies of government to sustain their livelihood. He highlighted a number of successes chalked by the government over the past few years and encouraged the people to support the government in its quest to ensuring massive development in all sectors of the economy. He also appealed to the chiefs and custodians of the land to release portions of their land for developmental projects. This he noted is the surest way chiefs could contribute their quota to accelerated development in the area.
