The newly sworn-in Upper East Regional Minister, Donatus Akamugri Atanga, has pledged to transform the region into the “Dubai of the northern sector of Ghana” during his tenure.
Speaking upon his arrival in the region after his swearing-in ceremony in Accra, Akamugri expressed his vision to drive development, improve infrastructure, and elevate the region’s economic status.
“I am committed to ensuring that the Upper East Region becomes the economic and development hub of the northern sector. We have the resources, the potential, and the determination to make this happen,” he stated.
Akamugri, a long-serving political figure, previously held the position of Upper East Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for several years.
His tenure earned him the nickname “Mugabe of the NDC” due to his extended leadership in the party.
His appointment as regional minister has raised expectations among residents, who hope his experience and political influence will attract investment and foster development.
As he assumes office, stakeholders and citizens will be watching closely to see how he implements his ambitious vision for the region.
