THE Nadowli District Chief Executive (DCE) in the Upper West Region, Mr Abu Kansangbata, has expressed gratitude to President Mills and the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the region for nominating him to the high office.
He also thanked the traditional leaders and assembly members in the district for affirming their support during his confirmation, and promised to work diligently to accelerate the development of the district.
Mr Kansangbata, who was speaking to the Daily Graphic at Wa, called for mutual cooperation from all stakeholders in his efforts to bring development to the district, adding, “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 standard of living of people.
Therefore, it is time to do away with partisan politics and work together as a unified force,” he stated.
Mr Kansangbata mentioned security, health, agriculture and education as his priority areas.
The 29-year-old DCE, who is the youngest of the chief executives in the region, further acknowledged that although the task ahead was a daunting one, he was prepared to seek counsel from the elderly and all those who had the development of the district at heart.
He lauded the role of the media in the region and said, “Without the media, we would not have reached where we are today”,
According to Mr Kansangbata, through various educative programmes on radio, a lot of people in the region had come to appreciate democracy and the decentralisation process, and were playing leading roles in that regard to strengthen the structures of democracy.
