‘Improve your lives with SADA’

Northern Regional Minister, Bede Ziendeng, has urged the people of Northern Ghana to take advantage of the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) to improve their lives since the organization was making progress to enhance the standard of living of the people in its catchment area.

According to him, people must focus on the positive developments that the organization was making in the agricultural sectors instead of focusing on the seemingly negative sides of SADA adding that “SADA supports people who genuinely present proposals… SADA does not share money”.

During an inspection tour of a 600-acre rice farm which the Borimaga Youth Group of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were cultivating with the support of SADA, Mr. Ziendeng expressed joy at the work that had been done.

“This suggests that NDC youth are not lazy people fomenting violence as speculated by some people, but are really into genuine productive agriculture to sustain their livelihoods.

I must emphasize that SADA is not also there for only NDC people but is there to assist everybody in its ecological zone… people who are interested must avail themselves for any form of assistance”, he stated.

He stated that the Guinea Fowl Project of SADA was on course and any group of people or individuals interested in investing in the project must not hesitate since the Authority was ready to assist people to produce Guinea fowl.

He noted that SADA would make available more tractors, harvesters and other equipment to increase agricultural productivity within the SADA ecological zone.

Meanwhile, Chief Executive of SADA, Alhaji Gilbert Seidu Iddi, commended the youth for taking such initiative and appealed to other youth groups to take to agriculture not only to contribute to the food basket of the country but to gain sustainable income for themselves.

He explained that the ultimate objective of SADA was to create jobs and increase wealth for the people, stressing that food production could be affected by this year's poor rainfall.
