Release funds for road project - association

Tamale (Northern Region) 22 April 

The Tamale Tizaa NDC Youth Association, has appealed to the government to release funds for the early completion of the Tamale roads rehabilitation project.

A statement signed by Mr Yussif Yacubu, secretary of the association said although the government has initiated a number of projects in the municipality the delay in the roads rehabilitation is being exploited by some people "to gain cheap popularity."

It was in reaction to sentiments expressed at a public forum by a group calling itself Tamale Concerned Citizens Association at the weekend. The Forum discussed irregular water supply and the road project in the municipality.

The statement cited the rehabilitation of the Tamale water supply system as an example of the government's desire to give the people of Tamale good drinking water.

"What is more important is that we of Tizaa NDC Youth are appealing to the people of Tamale to pay their water bills to enable the Ghana Water and Sewerage Corporation to meet the cost of production". The statement said.
