On water supply challenges, he pledged to engage the leadership of Community Water and Ghana Water Limited to explore sustainable solutions for connecting Paga and surrounding communities in Kassena Nankana West District to the national water system.

Appreciation to the Community

President Mahama expressed gratitude to the traditional authorities and people of Paga for their warm reception and support, emphasizing government’s commitment to inclusive development in the Upper East Region and improved living standards for all.
