The one time treasurer of the Students Representative Council of the Tamale Polytechnic and also national treasurer of the Gonjaland youth Association was also an assistant accountant of the university for development studies in Tamale from 1998-2002 and sees all these as enough experience to manage the finances of the party in the region effectively if elected.
