The Chiefs
and people of the newly created Nabdam District have lauded the proposed
establishment of a bank in the area. The First National Bank which has over 45
branches across the entire regions of the country is set to open a new branch
at Nangodi to help enhance business activities, inculcate the habit of saving and
also improve the financial status of the people. As promised by the
Presidential Candidate of the PPP, Dr. Paa
Kwesi Nduom, during his recent visit to the area, people of Nabdam are enthused
about the benefit that the new bank would bring, considering the poor saving
habit of the people. The setting up of a bank in the area, the people confessed
would ease the trouble of people commuting long distances to Bolgatanga,
the regional capital to access banking facilities. People, particularly those
in the remotest part of Nabdam are poised to inure maximum benefit when the
bank is set up because due to their financial backlash, people in such areas find
it extremely difficult and reluctant to access banking facilities, thus
compounding their poverty situation. Radio Ghana’s interaction with some
residents of Nangodi revealed that access to loans pose a major challenge to
farmers and owners of small business enterprises. The situation, they complained
has retarded the progress of development in the area since business activities
including farming are stagnated owing to difficulties in accessing loans from
banks. Dr Nduom during his recent campaign tour to the area pledged his unflinching
support for the people of Nabdam if given the nod to rule the country. Beside the
proposed establishment of the bank in the area, the PPP Dr Nduom said, would
see to the speedy development of the area and appealed to the chiefs and people
to vote for the PPP for rapid development in all sectors of the economy. He also
called on the people to vote Mr Emmanuel Gambil Ditamina, as parliamentary candidate
for the area for total change and development.
