Six New Regions to chart newer development paths, different from the existing 10, says Dan Botwe

It is expected that the six new regions that have been created would chart different developmental and infrastructural paths from the existing regions.

Minister of Regional Reorganization and Development, Dan Botwe, said Ghanaian particularly those in the new region should expected a shift from the existing situation where almost all infrastructure and public institution are all centralized at their regional capitals.

 The new move, he explained is to spread development across the newer region and also make meaning out of the creation of the regions.

Speaking to journalists after delivering an invitation from President Nana Akuffo Addo to the Yagbonwura, Sulemana Jakpa Boresa I, at his Jakpa palace in Damongo in Central Gonja, Mr. Botwe who is also the MP for Okere, said such shift in paradigm would accelerate development in the newer regions. He also said broader consultations had already taken place on the choice of regional capitals.

The minister had earlier visited the North East region where he met the Nayiri, and overlord of the Mamprugu traditional area, Naa Mahami Bohagu Sheriga at Nalerigu, where similar invitation from the president was extended to the Nayiri to the Jubilee house on the February 12.

On the said date, the president would issue the Constitutional Instruments (CI) for the full creation and inauguration of the six regions; Savanna, North East, Oti, Ahafo, Bono East, and Western North.

Both the Nayiri and Yagbonwura were grateful to the President for redeeming his promise to creating the new regions. Spokesman for the Yagbonwura Sulemana Jakpa Tutumba I, in an address said the chiefs and people in the savanna region had unanimously settled on Damango as their capital and were hoping the president would honor their choice.
