Salaga South MP Partners with Government to Expand Access to Technical and Vocational Education

As part of ongoing efforts to broaden access to technical and vocational education, the Member of Parliament for the Salaga South Constituency in the Savannah Region, Hajia Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah, has partnered with the government to construct an ultra-modern Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institute.

During an official visit to the proposed construction site, accompanied by a delegation from the Ministry of Education, the MP—who also serves as a member of the Board of Governors of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation—pledged her full support towards the successful implementation of the TVET Senior High School project in the constituency.

According to her, the project, when completed, would serve as the missing link in promoting skills development among the youth, particularly in underserved communities. She emphasized that it would pave the way for economic empowerment and a brighter future for the teeming young population in the area.

She expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Paramount Chief of the Kpembi Traditional Area and his sub-chiefs, the Municipal Chief Executive, heads of institutions, security agencies, and the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for their individual and collective commitment to the project and the overall development of the constituency.

As the only female legislator in the Savannah Region, Hajia Zuwera reaffirmed her readiness to facilitate the completion of the project, reiterating her unwavering commitment to education and skills development in the constituency.

The Paramount Chief of the Kpembi Traditional Area, Yiram Kpembewura Bambanye Ndefoso IV, expressed great excitement about the project and gave his full blessing for its commencement. In a demonstration of leadership and support, the chief released 15 hectares of land along the Salaga-Kafaba road for use in the construction of the institute.

The team from the Ministry of Education, after conducting a thorough assessment, expressed satisfaction with the chosen location and commended the traditional authorities for their cooperation and enthusiasm. They assured the MP of timely and high-quality delivery of the facility, in alignment with the vision of H.E. John Dramani Mahama to reposition technical and vocational education in Ghana.
