<\/p>\nThe Tolon district in the Northern Region, now has a substantive District Chief Executive (DCE), in the person of\u00a0Balchisu Yakubu.<\/p>\n
She was on Wednesday confirmed by 33 out of 34 assembly members who voted in an election supervised by the Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n
Until her appointment, the area had been without a DCE following the Tolon Regent, Retired Major Sulemana Abubakari, and his people’s rejection of the first DCE nominee, Hajia Amama Shaibu.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Saeed, commended the assembly members for accepting the President’s choice of DCE.<\/p>\n
Salifu Saeed said despite the late confirmation of the DCE nominee, the district will be well catered for.<\/p>\n
He implored the chiefs and residents of the area to give Balchisu Yakubu their maximum cooperation.<\/p>\n
He also called for peaceful coexistence to ensure the smooth implementation of pro-poor programmes including the planting for food and jobs, one district-one factory and free Senior High School among others.<\/p>\n
Salifu Saeed admonished all loyalists of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the region, to exercise maximum restraint as steps are being taken to address their concerns.<\/p>\n

\nThe DCE, Balchisu Yakubu, promised to serve the interest of all, and appealed to the chiefs there to support her.<\/p>\n
As a teacher, she said education will be her topmost priority to overturn students’ poor performance in the area.
