<\/p>\nThe Yendi Municipal Assembly is constructing a Peace and Conflict Resolution Centre to engage the youth on peace management.<\/p>\n
Among several ongoing projects, the Centre is expected to serve as a catalyst for deepening peaceful co-existence in the Eastern Corridor of the Northern Region where conflicts are pervasive.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Yendi Municipal Chief Executive, Alhaji Issah Zakariah, brought this to the fore at a Town Hall Meeting in Yendi.<\/p>\n

He chronicled the abundant projects the assembly and its development partners have since 2009 executed in the Municipality to improve the residents\u2019 welfare.<\/p>\n
