Tamale Central MP begins borehole project to tackle water crisis
Prof. Seidu Mahama Alidu, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for the Tamale Central Constituency, has initiated measures to address persistent water shortages in parts of the constituency with the construction of mechanised boreholes in selected communities. The intervention began in the Gumbihini, Changli, and Aboabo electoral areas. According to Prof. Alidu, the initiative was in fulfilment of his campaign promise to improve living conditions for residents and continue development efforts initiated by the late former MP for the area, Alhaji Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed.
Prof. Alidu explained that 10 boreholes were being constructed across the constituency to help ease the long-standing water challenges confronting many communities. Some community members expressed appreciation to the MP for the intervention, describing it as timely and beneficial to the affected areas. The MP recently undertook an inspection tour of ongoing road projects in the Gumbihini and Agric wards to assess the progress of work and engage residents on challenges relating to road infrastructure in the area. The road projects were initiated by the late Alhaji Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed and are being continued under the leadership of Prof. Alidu.
In a related development, Prof. Alidu organised free extra classes for candidates in the recently held Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in the constituency to support their academic preparation. The MP also distributed more than 1,800 mathematical sets to candidates and provided transport stipends to support their movement to and from examination centres. He said the intervention was aimed at ensuring that no student was disadvantaged during the examination period because of financial constraints.
