Akufo Addo lauds Yendi MP for Driving home Development

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has applauded the performance of the Member of Parliament (MP) for Yendi, Farouk Aliu Mahama, so far in the Yendi Constituency and beyond. 

Addressing the chiefs and people of Yendi as part of his two days tour in the Northern Region, he eulogized the MP’s late father, former Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama, indicating that he is not surprised by the efforts of Farouk Aliu Mahama because the late Vice President during the former President Kufuor's administration, with whom he worked, was known for his diligence and love for Dagbon progress. 

“I am particularly happy that Farouk is taking over from his father by working to drive home development and that is a mark he’s taken over from his father who served Ghana with all sincerity.”

President Akufo-Addo also announced the appointment of Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama as the board chairman for the Ghana Integrated Iron and Steel Development Corporation (GIISDEC).

“I am still constituting my government and Yaa-Naa I want to assure you that your son, Farouk Aliu Mahama, will be appointed by me as the board chair for the Ghana Integrated Iron and Steel Development Corporation to replace my good friend late Prince Imoru Andani, who served in that capacity,” the President opined.
