The retired Diplomat raised this concern when Vice President, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia paid a courtesy call on him as part of his four days thank you tour of the Northern Region.<\/p>\n

Sagnarigu’s municipal status<\/strong> He explained that the district harbours facilities such as hotels, tertiary institutions, the upgraded Tamale Airport among others which warrants a municipal status.<\/p>\n He also appealed to government to expand the Sagnarigu water project and build high rise buildings in the area.<\/p>\n He implored the District Chief Executive, Mariam Iddrisu to build on the remarkable legacy of her predecessor.<\/p>\n Vice President, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia praised the Sagnarigu Naa for his wisdom and pledged government’s commitment to fulfill the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2016 campaign promises.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Abdul Karim Naatogmah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Sagnarigu chief, Naa Yakubu Abdulai has charged government to resolve the Dagbon chieftaincy stalemate between the Abudu and Andani royals within the first year of President Nana Akufo Addo’s stay in office.
