Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih, former Upper West Regional Minister, has taken over the administration of the Upper East Region.
This is after a letter from the presidency caused his transfer from the Upper West Region and the transfer of the Upper East Regional Minister, Stephen Yakubu.
Speaking to A1 Radio’s Mark Smith, the Chief Director for the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council stated that Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih had officially assumed office as the Upper East Regional Minister and had begun work.
“Just as Hon. Stephen Yakubu has begun work in the Upper West Region, Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih has taken over. In fact, we met with Heads of Department. We have met with REGSEC. He will be meeting MMDCEs.”
“We are rolling out a comprehensive itinerary for him to start his work with a tour or courtesy calls on traditional leaders and all key stakeholders,” he said.
Alhaji Inusah stated that he is confident the new Upper East Regional Minister, Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih, would be able to achieve success because “he [Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih] said [at a meeting] that even one day matters. A day can be used to turn so many things around. With the assurance he gave, I could see the vim and that the reasons for which he has been assigned to the Upper East Region will be achieved.”
