I’m for peace and development in Dagbon – Ya Na

The newly outdoored Overlord of Dagbon, Ya Na Abukari Mahama II has pledged his commitment towards peace and development in Dagbon and the Northern Region as a whole as peace has fully been restored in the once-troubled traditional area.

Speaking at his enskinment and outdooring ceremony in Yendi in the Northern Region on Friday, 25 January 2018, Ya Na Abukari Mahama II said under his reign, education, food security, better economic development, environmental security and peacebuilding will be paramount.

He called on businesses and investors to take advantage of the restored peace to invest in Dagbon as the land boasts of natural resources that can be harnessed for monetary gains.

He said: “Dagbon has fertile land for agriculture, it has commercial iron ore deposits, an alluvial base was recently found. Let me take the opportunity to call on all investors home and abroad to come to Dagbon and invest. They can invest in solar energy, mining, agriculture, animal husbandry, tourism, building industry and smock manufacturing.”

The Ya Na added that: “Under my reign, education, food security, better economic development, environmental security and peacebuilding will be paramount. We will partner with the international community, the government of Ghana and other development agencies to accelerate peace and development in Dagbon and Northern region. I shall also count on corporate institutions and business communities in Ghana to facilitate this work.”
