Northern Ghana is not deprived, its investment potential remains untapped – GIPA

0

The Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA), Zianabu Issah, has described the Upper East Region and other parts of northern Ghana as largely untapped investment destinations with significant opportunities in agriculture, mining and tourism.

According to her, the regions in northern Ghana should not be viewed primarily as deprived areas but as places with economic potential that has yet to receive adequate attention from investors.

Madam Issah made the remarks in Bolgatanga during GIPA’s Regional Investment Roadshow, which seeks to identify and promote investment opportunities across the country’s 16 regions.

“In fact, before we hit Bolgatanga, we made a stop at Tamanaa and we engaged the CEO. I don’t think the northern regions are deprived. It is one of the undiscovered regions that people are yet to understand the potentials,” she said.

She cited the operations of Tamanaa Company Limited, a rice processing business in the North East Region, as an example of the agricultural investment opportunities available in northern Ghana.

The company, which produces Nasia Star Rice, has substantial rice production and processing operations but, according to Madam Issah, requires greater support to expand distribution and improve market access.

“We got to know that there’s enormous opportunities when it comes to even rice production in the regions. They have a lot of rice harvested and the market they need now is to distribute this rice to consumers. This is something we at GIPA are looking to help with,” she noted.

Madam Issah said the experience demonstrated the need for investment promotion efforts to go beyond identifying production opportunities to connecting existing businesses with markets and potential investors.

Turning to the Upper East Region, she identified gold deposits and tourism attractions as other areas with investment potential.

“There’s a lot of vast potentials the region has to offer. The Upper East region has also discovered gold deposits and there are also very interesting tourism potentials. GIPA has been able to put together a very nice documentary highlighting these opportunities,” she stated.

She explained that the documentary was intended to showcase the region’s investment prospects and draw attention to opportunities that may be unfamiliar to potential investors.

Madam Issah further indicated that GIPA was prepared to collaborate with the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council to identify, package and promote the region’s investment opportunities.

The engagement forms part of the Authority’s nationwide investment opportunity mapping exercise, which seeks to document viable projects and promote them to potential investors, including at the upcoming Invest Ghana Summit in Accra.

BTU graduates 782 as university seeks Ghc10m for infrastructure development

0

Bolgatanga Technical University (BTU) has graduated 782 students at its 2026 Special Congregation. The graduands, comprising 334 males and 448 females, received Master of Science degrees, National Certificate I qualifications and certificates for specialised short courses at a ceremony held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at the university’s Library Complex at Sumbrungu.

Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Peter Osei Boamah, said the university urgently needed a dedicated lecture hall complex, adequate office accommodation and modern technological equipment to support teaching, research and administration.

He said the infrastructure deficits posed challenges to the university’s expansion ambitions and called for increased government investment and private-sector partnerships to provide the needed facilities.

Professor Boamah said the 782 graduands included 14 Master of Science graduates, while the National Certificate I category accounted for the majority.

The National Certificate I graduates comprised 242 in Garment Making, 28 in Welding and Fabrication, 70 in Automobile Engineering, 176 in Electrical Engineering Technology, and 224 in Catering and Hospitality Management.

Another 27 students received certificates for short courses in specialised technical fields, including mining engineering maintenance, engine diagnostics and advanced welding.

The Acting Vice-Chancellor noted that the female graduates outnumbered their male counterparts, describing the trend as an indication of progress in efforts to promote women’s participation in technical and vocational education and science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

He also announced that the ceremony marked the first graduating cohorts from six programmes, including MSc Procurement, Logistics and Supply Chain Management; MSc Animal Science; MSc Crop Science; MSc Irrigation and Drainage Engineering; National Certificate I; and certificates for short courses.

He congratulated the pioneering graduates and urged them to apply the knowledge and practical skills acquired to solve problems, create businesses and contribute to community development.

Professor Boamah said BTU had expanded its competency-based training curricula to equip students with practical skills relevant to industry.

He also highlighted the establishment of the Sustainable Energy Centre, which is expected to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The university, he added, won the 2026 Women in Engineering (WiNE) Affair national competition with a student-developed smart emergency flood monitoring system, beating 18 other tertiary institutions, including the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and the University of Ghana.

He said the university’s engineering and technical short courses were also helping to address skills gaps in the mining, manufacturing and automotive sectors.

In an address delivered on behalf of the Governing Council Chairman, Professor Gilbert Abotisem Abiiro also appealed to the government for special financial clearance to construct a multipurpose lecture hall, which he said had been on the drawing board for some time.

He further disclosed that the government had promised to allocate 10 million Ghana cedis to the university for infrastructure development in the 2026/2027 academic year. The university authorities said the proposed investment would help improve the learning environment and strengthen BTU’s capacity to deliver technical and professional education.

The Governing Council said BTU remained committed to developing competent, innovative, ethical and enterprising graduates capable of responding to the changing needs of industry, business and public service.

The Bolgatanga Municipal Chief Executive, Roland Atanga Ayoo, called for stronger collaboration between the university and the Municipal Assembly to address development challenges in the municipality.

He said the university’s research capacity, technical expertise and academic resources could help tackle issues relating to sanitation, agriculture, waste management, renewable energy, digital innovation, enterprise development and youth employment.

Mr Ayoo encouraged the university to support the Assembly with research-based interventions and to promote student projects that respond to real community needs. He said stronger partnerships between the two institutions would help ensure that academic research produced practical solutions for local development.

Addressing the graduands, the MCE urged them to demonstrate integrity, professionalism, innovation and a commitment to lifelong learning.

The office, located at the Upper East Regional Education Office in Bolgatanga, was commissioned on Monday, October 19, 2026, during a brief ceremony attended by the Inspector General of Schools, Professor Tahiru Azeko; the Regional Director of NaSIA, Gilbert Baba Alolbila; and the Regional Director of Education, Razak Z. Abdul-Korah, alongside their respective teams.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Alolbila expressed gratitude to the Regional Director of Education and his team for providing office space to accommodate the Authority.

He urged Mr. Alolbila to maintain effective communication and accountability to stakeholders and institutional partners, particularly the Ghana Education Service (GES), to ensure a coordinated approach to school inspection and educational improvement.

Professor Azeko subsequently handed over the keys to the refurbished office to Mr. Alolbila, urging him and his team to ensure proper maintenance and effective utilisation of the facility.

The Regional Director of Education, Mr. Abdul-Korah, commended Mr. Alolbila for what he described as an impressive presentation during an engagement with the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) some months ago.

He expressed confidence in the NaSIA Regional Director’s ability to discharge his responsibilities effectively, assuring Professor Azeko of his confidence in Mr. Alolbila’s capacity to deliver on his mandate.

Mr. Abdul-Korah further called for stronger teamwork and collaboration among NaSIA, GES and other education stakeholders, stressing that collective efforts were necessary to improve learning outcomes across the Upper East Region.

The commissioning is expected to provide NaSIA with a dedicated operational base in the region, bringing its activities closer to schools and education partners while facilitating coordination in the inspection and monitoring of educational institutions.

The development also underscores the importance of cooperation between education regulatory bodies and the Ghana Education Service in promoting quality education and strengthening accountability within the education sector.

Talensi MP appeals for peace after Gbane–Namoulog clash

0

The Member of Parliament for Talensi, Daniel Dung Mahama, has appealed to the chiefs, elders and youth of Gbane and Namoulog to embrace peace and restore the cordial relationship between the two communities following a violent clash that resulted in injuries and destruction of property.

The MP made the appeal during a visit to the two communities to assess the situation, interact with residents and encourage them to resolve their differences peacefully.

The visit follows a clash between the two neighbouring communities on Saturday, October 10, 2026, over a protracted 25-acre gold mining site located in Gbane. The violence reportedly led to the burning down of houses, the destruction of shrines and other properties, leaving residents counting their losses. Several people also sustained injuries during the confrontation.

Sixteen suspects have been arrested by the police to assist with investigations into the violence.

Mr Mahama was accompanied by the Talensi District Chief Executive, John Milim Nabwomya; the Talensi District Police Commander, ASP Sulemana Alhassane; and personnel from the National Police Intelligence Directorate, the Upper East Regional Police Intelligence Directorate, the Special Operations Team, also known as Black Cobra, and the Tongo District Police Command.

Addressing the chiefs, elders and youth, the MP said the situation had come under control following the intervention of the Minister for the Interior, the Regional Security Council and other stakeholders.

He said the visit was intended to obtain first-hand information about the incident, assess the extent of the destruction and encourage residents to maintain the calm that had returned to the area.

Mr Mahama said the youth of both communities had expressed their willingness to live peacefully, noting that the two communities shared longstanding family ties through intermarriages and had historically coexisted.

He urged the people to settle their differences through dialogue and called on community leaders to work towards a lasting solution to the dispute.

“We are all together as one,” he said, appealing to the people of Gbane and Namoulog to coexist as they had done in the past and not allow the incident to undermine their longstanding relationship.

The MP also cautioned residents against allowing outsiders or middlemen to exploit the situation and worsen tensions in the area.

He urged anyone who notices a person carrying weapons or engaging in activities likely to threaten peace in the communities to report the matter to the security services.

Mr Mahama further appealed to security personnel to maintain effective patrols to ensure a safe and conducive environment for farmers during the harvesting season.

Although he declined to discuss the details of the dispute because the land matter was already before a court, the MP said the latest violence appeared to have been triggered by a confrontation among some youth at the mining site.

He said the underlying land dispute between Gbane and Namoulog remained before the court and should be resolved through the appropriate legal processes.

Mr Mahama described the clash as unfortunate and expressed hope that the peace enjoyed in the communities in the days following the incident would be sustained.

He urged the chiefs, elders and youth to work together with the security services to prevent further violence and preserve peace in Talensi.

Earl International dismisses reports of shutdown, says EPA compliance records are up to date

Earl International Group Ghana Gold Limited has dismissed reports that its mining operations have been shut down by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), insisting that it holds a valid environmental permit and that its compliance records are up to date.

In a statement issued by its Public Relations Unit, the company described the reports published by Media Without Borders as false and urged the general public and its stakeholders to disregard claims that its operations had been closed.

The company said it currently holds a valid environmental permit issued by the EPA and has completed an application for its renewal, which it intends to submit before the existing permit expires.

According to Earl International, all processes, applications and payments relating to its environmental permits have been submitted in accordance with regulatory procedures and before their respective expiry dates since 2023.

It attributed delays in the issuance of permits to internal administrative challenges at the EPA, which it said had affected several mining companies across the country.

The company also addressed compliance issues identified during a nationwide environmental audit of mining companies conducted by the EPA, stating that all identified infractions had been rectified.

It said construction of an engineered Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) was ongoing under the supervision of the relevant regulatory authorities as part of efforts to meet environmental requirements.

Earl International further disclosed that it posted a reclamation bond in March 2024 and paid an administrative fine imposed over infractions identified during the environmental audit in April 2026.

On building permits, the company said permits had been obtained for ongoing projects, while applications for a few others were at various stages of issuance.

“All our compliance records with the EPA are up to date,” the statement said.

The company urged anyone seeking clarification on the purported closure notice circulating in the media to direct their inquiries to the EPA.

It reaffirmed its commitment to working with the environmental regulator in accordance with stipulated requirements to ensure environmental safety.

Earl International Group Ghana Gold Limited operates in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region.

Upper East investment projects to be showcased to international investors in November

0

The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) has announced plans to showcase investment opportunities in the Upper East Region to international investors at the upcoming Invest Ghana Summit in Accra in November 2026.

The Authority says businesses, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders with viable investment projects in the region will have the opportunity to present them for consideration as part of efforts to attract investment and stimulate economic growth.

The Public Relations Officer of GIPA, Zianabu Issah, disclosed this in Bolgatanga during the Authority’s Regional Investment Roadshow, which seeks to identify and document investment opportunities across Ghana’s 16 regions.

According to her, the exercise forms part of GIPA’s Investment Opportunity Mapping Project, which is intended to identify viable projects and package them for presentation to potential investors.

“The purpose for this roadshow is to be able to identify investment opportunities in all the 16 regions. We have done Volta, Oti, Eastern, Western, Western North, the Middle Belt which is Bono, Bono East and Ahafo, and Ashanti. Now we are completing with the five northern regions. We started in Tamale, went to North East and today we are in Bolga,” she said.

Madam Issah explained that investment opportunities identified during the regional engagements would be compiled into a document for presentation at the Invest Ghana Summit.

She encouraged businesses, young entrepreneurs and regional planning officers to take advantage of the initiative by submitting projects with investment potential to the Authority.

“This is not going to be a wasted effort. Any investment project happening within the regions, we are calling on regional planning officers, businesses, even young entrepreneurs with interesting projects to speak to us at GIPA,” she stated.

She further indicated that GIPA was seeking stronger collaboration with Regional Coordinating Councils to identify, package and promote investment opportunities within their respective regions to the international business community.

The Upper East Regional Investment Forum was held under the theme, “Driving Local Investments, Unlocking Regional Potential: Mapping Opportunities and Mobilising Growth in the Upper East Region.”

The engagement forms part of GIPA’s broader efforts to promote investment opportunities beyond Ghana’s major commercial centres and attract investors to projects across the country.

Yorogo Assembly Member commends Regional Minister’s accountability initiative

0

The Assembly Member for the Yorogo Tingre Electoral Area in the Bolgatanga Municipality, Bawa Atule, has commended Upper East Regional Minister Donatus Akamugri Atanga for introducing an accountability initiative aimed at encouraging public officials to report on their activities and development interventions.

He said the initiative would promote transparency and encourage Assembly Members to regularly engage their constituents on efforts to address development challenges in their communities.

Mr Atule made the remarks during an interview on Bolga FM’s Timaaga Sanga programme, where he outlined interventions in education and water provision that he had pursued since assuming office.

According to him, the initiative provides an opportunity for Assembly Members to account for their stewardship and demonstrate how they are responding to the needs of their constituents.

He said he had already begun engaging residents of the Yorogo Tingre Electoral Area to update them on development activities and efforts to address challenges facing their communities.

Speaking on education, Mr Atule disclosed that pupils at Yorogo Gaabisi previously lacked adequate classroom facilities, forcing the community to use a craft centre as a temporary learning space for kindergarten and primary school pupils.

He explained that after drawing the attention of the relevant authorities to the situation, the Municipal Chief Executive directed a contractor to construct a new school facility within three months.

“Before the intervention, our children did not have proper classrooms for their education. The community had to rely on the craft centre to accommodate the pupils,” he said.

Mr Atule expressed satisfaction with the intervention, saying the new facility would provide a more conducive learning environment for children in the community.

He further disclosed that the Municipal Assembly had facilitated efforts to secure support from the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) for another school project at Linting in Yorogo Gaabisi.

He said the proposed project would help address classroom infrastructure challenges and improve access to education in the area.

On water provision, the Assembly Member identified inadequate access to potable water as one of the major challenges confronting residents.

He said he had engaged the Municipal Assembly, the Municipal Chief Executive and the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central to seek interventions to address the situation.

According to him, these engagements had led to efforts to provide boreholes in communities within the electoral area, including locations near the residences of sub-chiefs, to improve access to water.

“Water remains one of the major challenges in our communities, so we have been engaging the Assembly, the MCE and our Member of Parliament to help find lasting solutions,” he said.

Mr Atule maintained that the Regional Minister’s accountability initiative would encourage public officials to be more responsive to the needs of their constituents and provide regular updates on development projects.

He urged residents to continue engaging their elected representatives and participating in local governance processes to ensure that development interventions reflected community priorities.

Alternative headlines: “Yorogo Assembly Member outlines education, water projects, praises accountability initiative”; “Bawa Atule highlights school infrastructure, water interventions in Yorogo”; “Regional Minister’s accountability initiative will improve local governance – Bawa Atule.”

Food insecurity, agrochemicals and illegal mining threaten public health – Bishop Agyenta

0

The Catholic Bishop of the Navrongo-Bolgatanga Diocese, Most Rev. Alfred Agyenta, has warned that food insecurity, the use of agrochemicals and pollution from illegal mining could undermine efforts to improve public health, particularly in the Upper East Region.

He said the benefits of clinical nutrition and modern healthcare would remain limited if people lacked access to sufficient food or if the safety and nutritional quality of what they consumed were compromised.

The Bishop therefore called for stronger collaboration between the health and agricultural sectors to address challenges affecting food production, availability and consumption.

“Food security is still a challenge in many places, including our own region,” he said, citing the Upper East Region’s short rainy season as a constraint on agricultural production.

Most Rev. Agyenta made the remarks while chairing the 21st National Conference of the Catholic Health Service Trust-Ghana (CHST), held in Bolgatanga from October 13 to 16, 2026.

The conference was held under the theme, “Dietetics in Contemporary Medical Practice: Enhancing Clinical Excellence through Workforce Development.”

The Bishop explained that while nutrition played a critical role in disease prevention, treatment and recovery, its benefits depended largely on people’s ability to access safe and nutritious food.

He expressed concern about the use of agrochemicals in food production, stressing that efforts to increase agricultural yields must also consider food safety and the long-term health of consumers.

According to him, agricultural development should not focus solely on producing more food but must also promote farming practices that protect the environment and support healthy living.

He said the Catholic Diocese, through its development office, NABOCADO, was promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices to help communities improve food security.

Most Rev. Agyenta also raised concerns about pollution associated with illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, particularly its potential effects on water bodies and food safety.

He urged health professionals, agricultural institutions and policymakers to pay greater attention to the relationship between environmental degradation, food production and public health.

The Bishop cautioned that discussions about the importance of nutrition in healthcare would achieve little if communities continued to struggle to obtain sufficient, safe and nutritious food.

He therefore called for coordinated efforts to address food insecurity, promote sustainable agriculture and protect natural resources.

Meanwhile, the Upper East Regional Minister, Donatus Akamugri Atanga, has called for stronger nutrition education in schools, homes and communities to address unhealthy dietary habits and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

He expressed concern about the consumption of sugary drinks, highly processed foods and diets containing excessive salt and unhealthy fats, as well as physical inactivity, particularly among young people.

According to him, these lifestyle factors could increase the risk of obesity and other non-communicable diseases.

Mr Atanga said quality healthcare must go beyond diagnosing illnesses and prescribing medication to include appropriate nutritional care for disease prevention, treatment and recovery.

He stressed the need for a competent and adequately supported dietetics workforce, backed by continuous professional development, research and collaboration among healthcare practitioners.

The Regional Minister also urged stakeholders to ensure that the Upper East Region’s agricultural potential translated into better nutrition and improved health outcomes for households.

He said increased agricultural production must be accompanied by efforts to promote healthy eating habits and improve access to nutritious food.

Mr Atanga noted that the region’s development framework, PEARL 2026–2035, which focuses on Prosperity through Enterprise, Agriculture, Resilience and Livelihood, recognised the importance of a healthy population to sustainable development.

He appealed to government institutions, healthcare providers, development partners, traditional authorities and private-sector organisations to support initiatives that strengthen nutrition education and improve healthcare delivery.

For his part, the Director of the Catholic Health Service Trust-Ghana, George A. Adjei, urged healthcare professionals to give greater attention to the role of dietetics in improving patient outcomes.

He said the conference provided an opportunity for health practitioners, institutional leaders and training institutions to examine how workforce development could strengthen clinical nutrition and patient-centred care.

Mr Adjei encouraged healthcare providers to complement hospital-based treatment with public education and preventive healthcare, taking into account the social and environmental conditions that influence people’s health.

He also called for continued collaboration and support for the Catholic Health Service Trust’s work in healthcare delivery, particularly in underserved communities.

The Catholic Health Service Trust-Ghana is a Catholic Church-owned, not-for-profit health service that supports healthcare delivery through a network of health facilities and institutions across the country.

The four-day conference brought together healthcare professionals, institutional leaders and representatives of training institutions to discuss the role of dietetics in contemporary medical practice and the importance of developing the health workforce.

Alexis Ayamdor files nomination for Upper East NDC Regional Secretary

0

Alexis Adugdaa Ayamdor has filed his nomination to contest the Upper East Regional Secretary position of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), promising to strengthen grassroots participation, improve party administration and prioritise the welfare of members if elected.

Mr Ayamdor says his decision to contest is driven by the need to build a more responsive and organised regional party structure that addresses the concerns of members across all 15 constituencies in the Upper East Region.

Outlining his vision following the filing of his nomination, he pledged to maintain regular contact with constituency and branch executives rather than conduct party affairs primarily from the regional office.

He said frequent visits to constituencies would enable him to understand the challenges confronting members and work with relevant party structures to address them.

Mr Ayamdor also promised to strengthen collaboration between the party’s regional leadership, Members of Parliament and government appointees to advocate for development projects across the region.

According to him, he would engage these stakeholders to lobby for projects and opportunities in all 15 districts, with particular attention to communities that require additional development support.

He further pledged to advocate for the region’s interests at the national level, including within the party’s National Executive Committee structures and programmes.

He said this would involve pushing for what he described as fair access to appointments, opportunities and resources for party members in the Upper East Region.

Another priority outlined by the aspirant is improving the operational capacity of party offices.

Mr Ayamdor said he would work with MPs and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives to mobilise resources and equip party offices to improve administration, coordination and grassroots mobilisation.

On party welfare, he proposed the establishment of welfare funds across the party’s administrative structures to provide assistance to members facing difficulties, including sickness and bereavement.

He believes such a system would strengthen solidarity among members and provide a more structured approach to addressing their welfare needs.

The Regional Secretary hopeful also pledged to improve the party’s electoral preparedness by strengthening the capacity of regional and constituency election directorates.

He proposed the formation of auxiliary support teams to assist with election-related activities, including monitoring electoral processes and safeguarding the party’s interests during national elections.

Mr Ayamdor further promised to advocate for a transparent system of recognising and rewarding party members who have contributed to the NDC’s activities and electoral performance.

He said dedicated members at the branch, constituency and regional levels deserved recognition and opportunities based on their contributions to the party.

The aspirant maintains that implementing these proposals would strengthen internal coordination, improve member participation and position the NDC for future electoral contests.

Mr Ayamdor is seeking the mandate of delegates to serve as Upper East Regional Secretary in the party’s upcoming regional executive elections.
