He lamented the lack of any State Housing projetcs in the region.
He also assured the MD of the company that he is ever ready to give them the needed support should they decide to put up any projects in the region to address the housing needs of the Savannah Region.
John Bawah expressed deep appreciation for the Yagbonwura’s warm hospitality and valuable insights, noting the critical role of traditional leaders in fostering development.
“The guidance of revered leaders like the Yagbonwura is essential in ensuring our housing initiatives align with the aspirations of the people of Gonjaland,” he remarked.
