Abdulai Abanga, the MP for Binduri in the Upper East Region and Deputy Minister for Works and Housing, has restated the government’s commitment to expanding the rural electrification project in his constituency.
Speaking to Kayla Gift Amoshie on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East Show, the MP indicated before capturing the seat, the expansion of electricity to unreached communities had halted. This was promptly resumed, he said. This means that in the shortest possible time, more communities in the area would be connected to the national electricity grid.
Additionall, Mr. Abanga said to allow easy commute within the constituency, some feeder roads are being worked on.
“When I became Parliamentary Candidate, that is when I started doing the work because I realized that there was a lot of work to be done. We are doing several roads; about 8 or 9 different feeder roads. Maybe, about 10 or 15 culverts are being constructed in Binduri. We believe that by the end of my first term, all these roads would have been done to make the community easily accessible from one point to the other,” he said.
He continued to say that “our electrification project stalled some time ago. It is back and ver soon communities would e connected to the national grid.”
On the electrification project, the MP suggested the entire Binduri Constituency would be connected to the national grid by 2024.
“We want to have 100 percent electrification by 2024. We are working towards it. I can assure you that by the grace of Almighty Allah, that would be the situation when we get to December 2024,” he said.
Earlier, the MP has disclosed that he had offered Ghc 110, 000 to support 95 tertiary students in the area.
The initiative according to the MP, forms part of the “Binduri Must Develop” agenda, aimed at strengthening and developing the human capacity in the area.
