A youth group in the Northeast region known as GAMYA has applauded President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on his appointment of Yidana Zakaria as Regional Minister-designate.

In a press statement made available to GhanaWeb, the group, Gambaga Youth Association, described the appointment as “timely and appropriate considering his positive outreach throughout the region.”

It stated further that, his role in serving as a supportive spokesperson of the Overlord of Mumprugu Naa Mahami Sheriga Bohagu, during campaigns for the creation of the Northeast Region, is testament of his capability.

It said that these attributes without a doubt place the nominee as the best person to appreciate the challenges that confront the young citizens of the region.

Abdul Rahaman A Osman, the National President of The Gambaga Youth Association remarked, “Government for the developmental projects in the newly created region and hopeful that Mr. Yidana’s confirmation will further promote the speedy completion of ongoing projects and introduction of other infrastructural developments for the North East Region."

GAMYA wish Mr. Yidana well in his vetting and pray for his confirmation by parliament for him to succeed his career as the North East Regional Minister.
