Some concerned youth of the area have been kicking against its creation, citing potential conflict situations as the area, for some time now have been witnessing chieftaincy clashes.
But giving their full blessing to the proposed Savanah region, Chief of Yii, one of the communities, NAA Sulemana Issah said, Janton and its immediate surrounding areas, formed a core of the under deprived areas in the district, hence being part of the yet to be created Savannah region, would stimulate development of the area.
A cross section of the inhabitants listed poor road network declining education and health quality which could be better addressed if they had a region.
