The Chief Imam joins in the plea for constructing an airport in the Upper East Region. This region has been lagging behind in development.
The Upper East Regional Chief Imam, Yousif Umar, has shown support for the call. He wants an airport to be built in the region. He emphasized its significance.
He firmly believes that the region is falling behind in terms of development. He hopes that essential developmental projects, such as an airport, will be prioritized. This will significantly improve the region’s appearance.
He called on all interested parties to support the region’s leaders in completing the project.
On Tuesday, the Chief Imam visited the airport project site. During this visit, he called for prayers to support clearing the land for construction. Alagumgube, a development group aiding in the project, has taken on the task of clearing the land.
The Regional Chief Imam prayed to protect those with good intentions for the region’s progress.
“When you look at our region, it looks as if we have been left behind in terms of development so we are all excited to have heard of this project. The airport is very necessary and I want to thank Alagumgube for all they are doing. I will urge them to continue and we have to commend them. We need the people in the region to support this initiative. I know no one will be against this project but we need their support to make this a reality,” he said.
Similarly, Reverend Moses Billa is an assistant pastor from the Amazing Power Church. He has voiced support for constructing an airport in the area.
