The Nursing and Midwifery Council Ghana, has provided two communities and the Nalerigu Senior High School in the North East Region with mechanised boreholes.
The construction of the boreholes which cost about 40,000.00 is part of the council’s Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR).
The beneficiary communities Sakogu and Wungu, were experiencing acute water shortage during the dry season.
The Chairperson of the Board Rev. Veronica Dark, who inaugurated the boreholes last week in the various communities, mentioned that the provision of the potable water to the two communities was part of its effort to assist in addressing the perennial water crisis there.
She indicated that the council was celebrating its 50th Anniversary and, therefore, decided to put similes on the faces of the residents of the communities, especially the students of Nalerigu SHS.
Rev. Veronica emphasised that the boreholes would enable the communities to store water in the dry season in order to save the people especially the students and said that, the council would continue to embark on activities that would go a long way to improve the lives of the people in the communities.
The Registrar of the Council, Mr Felix Nyante on his part, urged the beneficiaries and other stakeholders to take proper care of the boreholes.
He stated that it was incumbent on them to ensure regular maintenance of the facilities in order to ensure its longevity.
The Overlord of the Mampurisi Traditional Area Nayeri Abdulai Mahami Sheriga expressed gratitude to the members of the nursing and midwifery council board for the gesture.
He said the provision of the boreholes would address water scarcity and reduce infection of certain diseases in the beneficiary communities.
The Headmaster of Nalerigu Senior High School (NASS), Mr Tibila Mohammed thanked the council for the facility, and pledged to maintain it.

Parliament has clarified public commentary on social media regarding a notice on its notice board that read “No Vacancy for National Service Personnel 2026/2027. Kindly go for reposting.”
In a statement, signed by the Director of Media Relations, David Sebastian Damoah, Parliament said the notice has been misconstrued and was not a policy statement, a freeze on national service placements, or a change in its support for the National Service Scheme.
According to Parliament, the notice was a routine administrative message to prospective personnel who reported to the House, informing them that it has received more personnel than it can accommodate for the 2026/2027 service year and that they should seek reposting to other institutions.
It said it remains committed to the National Service Scheme and values the contribution of service personnel to its work, and regrets any confusion or inconvenience the wording may have caused.

Ghanaian public advocate Hopeson Yaovi Adorye has been elected to the Board of Directors of the World Taxpayers Association (WTA).
The election took place on Sunday, October 5, 2026, during the Association’s conference in Kraków, Poland.
His election marks a significant addition to his international leadership portfolio and provides a platform for Ghanaian and African perspectives to contribute to global discussions on taxpayer rights, responsible taxation, transparency and prudent management of public resources.
Reacting to his election, Mr. Adorye expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of the WTA for the confidence reposed in him.
“I am deeply honoured by this confidence and conscious of the responsibility that comes with it. Taxpayers are at the heart of every economy, and they deserve fairness, transparency, accountability and value for the taxes they pay. I look forward to working with colleagues from across the world to strengthen the voice of taxpayers and promote responsible fiscal governance,” he said.
According to him, taxation should not be viewed solely as a mechanism for raising government revenue, but also as an important component of the social contract between citizens and the state.
Mr. Adorye said governments have a responsibility to ensure taxes are collected fairly and public resources are utilised efficiently to deliver quality infrastructure, healthcare, education, security and other essential services.
His election also creates an opportunity to bring African experiences into international conversations on taxation and public expenditure.
Mr. Adorye, who is Executive Director of Taxpayers League Ghana, has previously served as Global Board Chairman of the International Youth Network for UN Security Council Resolution 2250, an NGO associated with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
He is expected to use his new role to champion fiscal accountability, taxpayer education, good governance and stronger citizen participation in public financial management.
