SADA guinea fowls are on their way back to Ghana-C.E.O

The Chief Executive Officer of Savannah Accelerated Developmen Authority (SADA), Charles Abugri has announced that, the SADA guinea fowls that flew to Ghana neighboring country Burkina Faso have started returning to Ghana. The guinea fowls last year flew to Burkina Faso after corruption allegations rocked the authority.

Several media reports on SADA guinea fowl project managed by Asongtaba Cottage Industry were to the effect that the birds had flown outside Ghana for reasons best known to the birds alone.

A visit by some journalists at the facility in the Bolgatanga in the upper east region saw a few of the guinea fowls and the management’s answer for the whereabouts of the rest was that they had flown out.

But presenting SADA’s development plan at the national development planning commission public consultative forum in Tamale, SADA CEO assured Ghanaians that the guinea fowls have started returning to Ghana. ’I can announce that those guinea fowls are on their way back from Burkina because I eat a few in Bolgatanga a few days ago,’’ said Charles Abugre.

Mr Abugre in explaining the law that set SADA up said the authority is not only about guinea fowls but has been working in three objectives geared at alleviating the suffering of the people in the SADA zone.

One of the objectives SADA C.E.O is prioritizing in providing strategic planning guidance to government for the purpose of ensuring that, development in the SADA zone is accelerated integrated and comprehensive so that the pace of change in this area is rapid enough faster than national average so that there will be breaching of the gap between the north and the rest of the country.

The first major task Mr Abugre said was planning. The second major task is to find creative way to raise money and facilitate investment into the zone.

The third major task is to support the decentralized coordinating system particularly the regional coordinating councils (RCCs) so that resources are harness and that interventions achieve the greatest impact, Mr Abugre explained.
