The chiefs and people of the three traditional areas in the Sissala West District of the Upper West Region have showered praise on Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for promptly fulfilling a promise to provide a pickup vehicle to the only senior high school in the district.
The flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) recently pledged to provide the vehicle to Hilla Limann Senior High School in response to a request by the late Paramount Chief of Gwollu, Kuri-Biktie Limann IV. Dr. Bawumia made the pledge when he led a government delegation to the late Gwollu overlord’s funeral at Gwollu.
Less than a month after the pledge, Dr. Bawumia handed over the keys to a brand new Nissan Navarra 4×4 Pickup to the school authorities at the Gwollu Palace, Gwollu.
Reading a speech on behalf of his fellow Paramount Chiefs of Zini, Gwollu, and Pulima, Kuoru Osman Deiwia Nankpa III, Paramount Chief of Pulima, expressed surprise at how Dr. Bawumia had fulfilled his pledge.
The NPP Flag bearer was also ennobled with a Chieftaincy title.
The Vice president was earlier in the Nadowli and Daffiama-Bussie-Issa constituencies, where he engaged traditional leaders and interacted with the communities in his constituency through outreach programs.
