The Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, who is also the Presidential Candidate of the NPP, has donated a Pickup vehicle to the Hilla Limann Senior High School at Gwollu in the Upper West Region.
The NPP flagbearer promised to provide the vehicle to the only Senior High School in the Sissala West District in response to a request by the late Paramount Chief of Gwollu, Kuri-Biktie Limann IV, made just before he passed away.
Dr Bawumia made the pledge on Saturday, June 29, 2024 when he led a Government delegation to the late Gwollu overlord’s funeral at Gwollu.
Less than a month after the pledge Dr Bawumia, on Thursday July 25, 2024 handed over the keys to a brand new Nissan Navarra 4WD Pickup to the school authorities at the Gwollu Palace, Gwollu.
Expressing delight at the donation, the Chiefs and people of the three traditional areas in the Sissala West District commended Dr Bawumia for promptly fulfilling his promise.
Reading a speech on behalf of his fellow Paramount Chiefs of Zini, Gwollu and Pulima, Kuoru Osman Deiwia Nankpa III, Paramount Chief of Pulima expressed surprise at the speed with which Dr Bawumia had fulfilled his pledge.
“Your recent pledge to grant the request of our late father and colleague, late KuoruKuriBuktie Limann to get a bus and a Pickup for the Dr Hilla Limann Senior High School are testament of your government’s and personal commitment to groom quality human resource for the benefit of our country,
“So let me be fulsome on behalf of the Chiefs and people of our land, in showing our profound gratitude for such meaningful interventions. I have gathered from very reliable sources that what you told us at this same grounds, barely a fortnight ago about making the Pickup available, will come to fruition today,” he said.
“I ask on behalf of our people, ‘What kind of a politician is this?’ You promised and you delivered. We are deeply touched and express the same here with elation,” Kuoru Deiwia Nankpa stated.
Members of the Limann family, the Board and Management expressed deep appreciation to Dr Bawumia for the gesture, and promised to ensure it’s proper use and maintenance.
President John Dramani Mahama will be joining African heads of state, business leaders, investors and innovators shaping Africa’s next chapter, at the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum scheduled to take place from 2nd to 4th October 2026 in the historic city of Alamein on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
The three-day Alamein Africa Forum is established as a permanent African Business Forum to convene biennially in Egypt.
It is to become the continent’s premier gathering where political power meets entrepreneurial prowess, bridging the established engines of African growth with the new sectors defining its future.
Co-organised by the Government of Egypt, African Export – Import Bank (Afreximbank), the African Union and AUDA-NEPAD, it is expected to bring together more than twenty (20) heads of state and government representatives alongside business leaders, bankers and development institutions.
Ghana’s President, who on 23rd September 2026 declared Ghana is open for business in New York after ringing the ceremonial closing bell at the Nasdaq Stock Market will be leading the Ghanaian delegation, to include the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu – Adjare, to the forum.
Other members of the Ghanaian delegation are the Head and Presidential Advisor for Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, Hon. Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Ghana’s Special Envoy to the Alliance of Sahel States, Colonel Larry Gbevlo – Lartey alongside key Ghanaian private sector players.
Bringing together leaders in politics, business and policy from across the continent, the Alamein Africa Forum will provide a unique opportunity to shape Africa’s growth agenda by aligning policy and investment priorities, mobilising partnerships for implementation and strengthening financing and investment pathways.
The private sector must become an integral part of Agenda 2063, the African Union’s strategic fifty-year masterplan to transform the continent. The private sector is the core economic engine required to turn the African 2063 from an aspirational government roadmap into realized infrastructure, jobs, and value-added trade.
