THE District Chief Executive (DCE)for Nadowli in the Upper West Region, Mr Abu Kansangbata, has promised to work diligently to accelerate the pace of development in the district.
Expressing appreciation to President Mills and the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the region for nominating him as the DCE, he also thanked traditional leaders and assembly members of the district for affirming their support for him during his confirmation.
Mr Kansangbata, who was speaking to the Daily Graphic called for cooperation among all stakeholders in the development process of the district, saying, “We have to see ourselves as development partners”.
That, he said, was the only means through which they could work together.
“The cardinal principle of politics is to improve the living standard of the people, therefore it is time to do away with politics and work together as a unified force,” he pointed out.
Mr Kansangbata also mentioned security, health, agriculture and education as his priority areas.
The 29-year-old DCE, who is the youngest of all the chief executives in the region, further acknowledged that though the task ahead was a daunting one, he was prepared to seek counsel from the elderly and all who had the development of the district on their shoulders to push the Nadowli District to a higher pedestal.
He lauded the role of the media in the region and said “Without the media we would not have gotten where we are today” explaining that through various educational programmes on radio for instance, now a lot of people in the region had come to appreciate democracy and the decentralisation process, and were playing leading roles in this regard to strengthen the structures.
