The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Nabdam in the Upper East Region, Agnes Namoo, has reflected on her eight years in office, highlighting the significant strides made in addressing the long-standing challenge of access to clean drinking water in the district.
According to her, prior to her appointment in 2017, the district struggled with water scarcity, a concern that resonated deeply with the people in the area: a narrative she said has changed under her leadership.
Speaking to Dreamz News, Madam Namoo stated “Before I was appointed into the office as a DCE, water in Nabdam was a problem. Everyone was complaining of water challenges, but I assured them that there will be changes, and now the evidence is clear for all to see,”
She emphasized that, over 60 boreholes have been drilled since she took office, and 19 additional boreholes have been drilled in the first phase of the ongoing Gulf of Guinea Northern Regions Social Cohesion (SOCO) projects.
This concerted effort she said has brought relief to the people of Nabdam, providing them with access to good drinking water.
“I have not been given a lot of money here to be shared to people, but I’m put here to ensure that development reaches the doorsteps of the people.” – She noted.
As she leaves a lasting legacy in her dedication to improving the lives of the Nabdam District, she takes pride in the tangible impact made, saying, “There is relief for the people since boreholes are drilled across the district providing good drinking water for them; a legacy I will be happy to leave behind.”
