Savannah Regional Minister, Muhazu Saeed Jibril says no investor would be attracted to start-up or invest in a business in a country full of conflict, violence and insecurity.
According to him, no development would be able to take place in such location or country.
Addressing Journalists in Accra on Sunday, the Minister said “No investor would be attracted a situation of conflict, violence and insecurity. By extension, no development takes place in a situation of insecurity”
He added that in order to get investors into his region, the Regional Security Council (RESEC) has been engaging with fellow colleagues in the Northern Region to help resolve all land boundary disputes.
The Regional Minister hinted that the land boundary disputes between Traditional Authorities dates back to the creation of the new region in 2019.
“Some land and boundary litigation between some traditional authorities sometimes leads to occasional tribal fights. The Nanton Naa in Nanaton District Region and Kikpandi Wura in the North East Gonja District of the Savannah Region cannot be left out.
“I’m convinced that with peace and unity, the Savannah Region will become a beacon of development for the nation”
Touching on Education which he described as a previous challenge, he noted that about 80 educational infrastructure projects such as classroom blocks and dormitories were currently ongoing.
He praised the Akufo-Addo Administration for providing his region with an ultra-modern secondary school.
He was hopeful that with much effort, students from his region will be able to excel in their education.
