Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has assured Fulani chiefs that the government is committed to building an inclusive society.

He emphasized the implementation of comprehensive policies by the government, such as the Free Upper Secondary School (SHS) policy, the Zongo Development Fund, Food Plantation and Jobs, among others.

Speaking at the inaugural national conference of the National Council of Fulani Chiefs in Kintampo, Dr. Bawumia also assured chiefs of the willingness and readiness of the Akufo-Addo administration to work in partnership with traditional leaders to bring development to all parts of the country.

“Therefore, we are building an inclusive society with actions on the ground and not with words,” he said.

He noted that they will get their share of the New Patriotic Party’s manifesto promise to build an SHS model in all Zongo communities, among others.

It is recalled that the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, had previously promised on behalf of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to build sixteen model upper secondary schools in the Zongo communities in the sixteen regions of Ghana.

This was one of many promises made during the launch of the Nuclear Power Plant Manifesto that took place on August 22, 2020 at the University of Cape Coast.

Dr. Bawumia said, “We want to make sure we focus on education in the Zongo communities, so we are building model high schools in the Zongo communities in each of the 16 regions so that we have 16 high schools. model in the Zongo communities. “

The Zongo communities are among the most disadvantaged communities in the country and before the 2016 elections, the PNP committed to addressing the problem with education, as well as seeking a vehicle that will prioritize development in Zongos to move away from rice and type of sugar development.

In three and a half years, the PNP government boasts of having established a Ministry for Urban and Zongo development, and having created the Zongo Development Fund, which is paving the way for sustainable development in these communities. “

Meanwhile, Dr. Bawumia has warned young people not to allow themselves to be recruited by unscrupulous politicians to cause chaos in the upcoming 2020 general election.
