The pledge was made on Thursday 11th June, 2026 when the Council, led by its President, Alhaji Sanusi Mohammed, paid a courtesy call on the Eastern Regional Minister, Mrs. Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, at her office in Koforidua.

The chiefs commended the government for its performance so far and thanked it for the progress made in Zongo communities. They assured the Regional Minister of their continued loyalty and support to ensure the success of government policies and programmes.

?Mrs. Awatey, in response, said President John Dramani Mahama and his administration recognize the immense contribution and major role played by Muslims in bringing the NDC into government. As a result, she noted, attention is being given to all Zongo communities in the provision of social amenities and road infrastructure.

?She cited the commencement of the reconstruction of roads in the Koforidua Zongo community as an example of government’s commitment to the area.

The Regional Minister entreated the chiefs to continue to believe in the government’s capability to deliver on its promises. On Hajj, she assured them that the majority of Muslims will be given the opportunity as expected.

Mrs. Awatey expressed appreciation for the visit and called for continued loyalty and prayers from the Muslim community to support the government’s development agenda.
