Builsa North MCE urges unity, collaboration for accelerated development in Buluk
Akogti made the appeal while speaking at an engagement forum organised by the NDC Youth Working Committee on Friday, January 9, in Sandema.
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Builsa North, Solomon Akogti, has called on residents of the municipality, especially National Democratic Congress (NDC) party members, to put aside divisive politics and work together to accelerate development in Buluk.
Akogti made the appeal while speaking at an engagement forum organised by the NDC Youth Working Committee on Friday, January 9, in Sandema.
He expressed concern over what he described as a persistent “pull-down syndrome,” which he said continues to undermine effective governance and development efforts in the municipality.
According to the MCE, his success in delivering on the government’s development agenda largely depends on the collective support of the people.
He further stressed that development can only be achieved through unity, cooperation, and mutual understanding among community members.
“I need everyone in Buluk to support me to succeed as MCE. I do not discriminate; my doors are open to everyone. We must stop the pull-down syndrome and work together to develop Buluk. If you do not understand anything, come to me. I am accessible.”
Akogti noted that divisive tactics only slow down progress and defeat the expectations of the electorate, who are eager to see improvements in infrastructure, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
He reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive governance, pledging to work with all stakeholders regardless of political affiliation to advance the development of the municipality.
The MCE’s remarks come against the backdrop of growing concerns from some youth groups, who have called for a faster pace in the implementation of campaign promises, including job creation, road construction, improved communication, and rural electrification projects. While acknowledging these concerns.
Akogti maintained that collaboration and dialogue, rather than confrontation, remain the most effective path to development.
