Lawyer Soung Jacob Zurobire, Deputy Director of the Judicial Training Institute of the Judicial Service of Ghana in charge of the Northern Sector [Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Northern, Upper East, and Upper West Regions], has commissioned a street light project for the Zanlerig-Zoorin community in the Nabdam District.
The Deputy Director, who is responsible for the training needs of Judges and the Judicial Service’s Staff in that sector, said the gesture was to improve visibility at night in the small community, surrounded by hills, which was always in the dark despite the fact that it was connected to the national grid.
At a brief ceremony held at his residence in the community, the Lawyer noted that the gesture aimed at enhancing security in the area and creating an avenue for social gatherings at night to discuss developmental issues.
He said the ceremony became necessary for residents to be informed, own it as their property, and protect it from being destroyed for their own benefit.
Lawyer Zurobire added that, though there were other projects in the pipeline, his gesture could also encourage others to support the community in their own small ways, regardless of its size.
The ten streetlight project was estimated to cost GH6,200.
Mr Maxwell Divom, the Assemblyman of the Zanlerigu-Dagliga Electoral Area, expressed his gratitude to the Lawyer for contributing to the development of the community.
He said the gesture by the Lawyer could also motivate children in the community who could not hide their joy upon seeing their community being brightened to learn hard and attain his status so that they could also contribute their quota.
Mr Yidan Sampana, the custodian of the land thanked the lawyer for his gesture and assured him of the community’s willingness to guard against the project for its fullest utilisation.
