Earlier today, I received in my office Mr. Alexander Ayatah, Director in charge of Research, Monitoring and Evaluation at the Ghana Road Safety Authority (GRA), together with his team, as part of their nationwide stakeholder engagement on measures to reduce road crashes and strengthen road safety enforcement.

The engagement focused on identifying practical strategies to improve road safety regulations, enhance compliance, and promote responsible road use, while also seeking the support and collaboration of stakeholders to ensure effective enforcement across the region.

I assured Mr. Ayatah and his team of my unwavering commitment and support towards this important cause. I further emphasized the need for close collaboration among the Ghana Police Service, DVLA, GTPRU, Information Services Department, and other relevant stakeholders to help sensitize and enforce road safety measures effectively and ensure greater compliance by all road users.

Road safety is a shared responsibility. Through stronger collaboration, public education and strict enforcement of road safety regulations, we can work together to reduce road crashes, save lives and make our roads safer for everyone.

I made a brief stop at the Tinguri–Gbani Bridge construction site along the Walewale Road to assess the progress of work.
I am pleased to note that work is progressing steadily and satisfactorily. The contractor has assured me that all major concrete works will be completed within the next month, bringing the project another significant step closer to completion.

We remain committed to monitoring ongoing projects to ensure they are delivered on schedule and to the required standards, for the benefit of our people and the development of the North East Region.

Earlier today, I had the pleasure of receiving my brother, the Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability, in my office during his working visit to the North East Region as part of his nationwide tour on climate action.

Our discussions focused on the need to further decentralize climate action by empowering Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies to take greater ownership of climate awareness campaigns and community engagement. We emphasized the importance of promoting responsible human behavior towards the environment, protecting our lands, and preserving our green vegetation for future generations.

Climate change is a shared challenge that requires collective action. Together, we remain committed to building a greener, more resilient, and sustainable North East Region for the benefit of present and future generations.

Over the past two days, our Government Accountability Series engagements took us to the East Mamprusi Municipal and Chereponi District Assemblies.

The forums provided both Assemblies with the opportunity to present, with evidence, the projects and interventions they have implemented to improve the lives of their people, while also creating a platform for meaningful interaction with citizens. This reflects government’s unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusive development.

It was encouraging to witness the remarkable progress made by both the East Mamprusi Municipality and the Chereponi District in just over a year. Their achievements are a testament to purposeful leadership and the government’s determination to deliver tangible development to every community.

Yesterday, I joined the people of the Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri and Yunyoo-Nasuan Districts for their Government Accountability Series, an initiative under His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama’s Reset Agenda aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in governance.

The forum provided both District Assemblies with the opportunity to present, with evidence, the projects and interventions they have initiated and implemented to improve the lives of their people. It also created an avenue for meaningful engagement with citizens, reinforcing government’s commitment to accountable leadership and inclusive development.

Together, we remain committed to building a more transparent, responsive, and development-oriented Northeast Region and Ghana as a whole.

Earlier today, I had the honour of receiving the Ambassador of Burkina Faso to Ghana, His Excellency Ambassador David Kabré, and his delegation on a courtesy call at my office. The visit also afforded us the privilege of paying a courtesy call on the Overlord of the Mamprugu Kingdom, my own father His Royal Majesty Naa Bohagu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga, the Nayiri.

Our discussions centered on strengthening the long-standing bonds of friendship and cooperation between Ghana and Burkina Faso, with particular emphasis on the historical and cultural ties between the Mossi and Mamprusi people. We also explored practical areas of collaboration, including enhancing cross-border trade and transportation, deepening security cooperation to address shared challenges, and promoting peaceful coexistence between our two neighbouring countries.

A key issue raised by the delegation was the establishment of a safe rest stop for travellers from Burkina Faso who journey through the North East Region to the capital city of Ghana Accra. Fortunately, such a facility has already been developed by a private investor along the Walewale-Nasia stretch. I assured the delegation of my commitment to providing the necessary security support around the facility to ensure that travellers can rest and continue their journeys in safety and comfort.

As part of the visit, we accompanied the delegation to the palace of Nba Gambarana and the Regional chief Imam in Gambaga. The delegation also visited some ancestral burial grounds in Gambaga, as the Mossi people trace aspects of their rich heritage and ancestry to the area. The visit to these historic graves served as a powerful reminder of the deep cultural and historical connections that continue to unite our people across borders.

This engagement reinforces our shared commitment to fostering stronger diplomatic relations, preserving our common heritage, promoting peace and security, and creating greater economic opportunities for the benefit of both Ghana and Burkina Faso.

Today, I had the honour of joining the Chief Executive Officer for Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) Julius Neequaye Kotey and his deputies in commissioning the North East Regional Office in Nalerigu, marking another important milestone in bringing essential government services closer to the people of our region.

For many years, residents of the North East Region had to travel long distances to Tamale or Bolgatanga to access DVLA services. The establishment of this regional office will significantly reduce that burden by providing convenient access to vehicle registration, driver licensing, roadworthiness inspections, and other essential services right here in the region.

I commend the Chief Executive of the DVLA and his dedicated team for their commitment to making this vision a reality. This achievement reflects government’s resolve to deepen decentralization, improve public service delivery, and ensure that every region enjoys equal access to critical state institutions.

I also encouraged transport operators, motorcycle riders, vehicle owners, and the general public to fully patronize the services of the new office. Our collective support will justify its establishment while promoting compliance with road traffic regulations, enhancing road safety, and strengthening security through proper vehicle registration and licensing.

To the staff of the DVLA, I urged them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and excellent customer service as they discharge their responsibilities.

The Government of H.E. John Dramani Mahama remains committed to expanding infrastructure and public services across the North East Region. I also extend an open invitation to other state institutions yet to establish a presence in the region to do so. The North East Regional Coordinating Council stands ready to provide the necessary support, including land and institutional collaboration, to facilitate their operations.

Together, we will continue to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous North East Region.

Today, I had the privilege of joining the commissioning of the newly rehabilitated Wenchiki Dam in the Chereponi District, a significant project funded by the Coastal States Stability Mechanism (CSSM).

The Coastal States Stability Mechanism has remained a dependable development partner to the North East Region, particularly in communities vulnerable to security challenges. Through its continuous support, CSSM has contributed immensely to enhancing peace and stability by providing logistical support, including security equipment and machinery that have strengthened police visibility and improved the operational capacity of our security agencies.

Beyond its contributions to security, CSSM continues to invest in sustainable community development. The rehabilitation of the Wenchiki Dam is a testament to this commitment. The project will provide a reliable source of water for dry-season farming, livestock, and other domestic and economic activities, ultimately improving livelihoods and strengthening food security in the area.

This intervention aligns with the broader vision of promoting agricultural productivity while fostering resilient and peaceful communities. It is through partnerships like these that we continue to make meaningful progress toward sustainable development in the North East Region.

I commend the Coastal States Stability Mechanism, the Chereponi District Assembly, traditional authorities, community members, and all stakeholders whose collaboration made this project a reality. Together, we can continue to build a region that is secure, prosperous, and full of opportunities for all.
