Local officials in Pusiga want to turn a historical spot into a cash cow. The District Chief Executive, Abdul Rahim Aguri Haruna, is pushing to develop the site in Kulungungu where Kwame Nkrumah faced an attack. They plan to build a new statue of Ghana's first president and a full tourist center there. This move tries to fix an economy hurt badly by the endless chieftaincy fight in Bawku. That conflict scared traffic from Burkina Faso and Togo away from Pusiga, sending it through Paga instead.
Haruna made this announcement after a ceremony launching new builds in six communities: Terago, Nakambo, Ninkogo, Nakom, Tindanatinga, and Kolpelugu. He warned contractors not to do shoddy work, telling them to deliver quality for the towns. The district also wants to fix up the area's three country boundary pillars to pull in more visitors.
The DCE listed some wins since he started, like a three-unit classroom block at Pusiga Community Day Senior High School, new boreholes, and fixed up health centers. Contractors on the new projects promised they would finish on time and keep their work up to standard. The whole tourism plan is basically an attempt to make the area relevant again after getting economically sidelined by nearby instability.
