The former National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the  Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency took to his official facebook page to express his heartfelt concerns about the state of the Komenda Sugar factory.

Mr. Dumelo elaborated that, when given the mandate, he will revive the sugar factory and start producing sugar within 16 months.

The young politician further revealed that, the  Komenda sugar factory needs about 200,000 tons of sugarcane to operate at full capacity.

“I can revive the Komenda sugar factory if given the mandate. That factory will start producing sugar within 16 months( considering planting and harvesting of sugarcane). The factory needs about 200,000 tons of sugarcane(pa) to operate at full capacity. We can do it!”

The Komenda Sugar Factory, which was built at a cost of $35 million from an Indian EXIM Bank facility, was inaugurated by former President John Mahama in May 2016, amid pomp and pageantry but was locked after a few test runs 3 Jun 2020.

The $35 Million processing factory has not been utilized for the past 5 years after its inauguration. Many citizens have raised concerns and criticized the incumbent governments inability to revive the factory as it rolls out its 1 District 1 Factory policy.

The factory when revived will create numerous jobs for the youth in central region hence reducing the unemployment and poverty rate in the region and in the country at large.

Free Health Screening and NHIS Issuance & Renewal in Dohini Community: A Collaborative Initiative by Hamdia Issifu

Published

on

On 15th February, I, Hamdia Issifu, founder of Azima Care Foundation and second runner-up of Miss Muslimah Ghana 2024, led a Free Health Screening and NHIS Issuance & Renewal event in the Dohini Community. The event provided Hepatitis B screenings, blood sugar, pressure checks, health education,and both NHIS card renewals and new card issuances to residents in need.

As a Dagomba woman from Northern Ghana, I’ve always been passionate about supporting the less privileged, especially orphans and the homeless. This passion led me to pursue the Miss Muslimah Ghana pageant, where I now use my platform to advocate for health and empowerment in communities like Dohini.

This initiative was made possible by a partnership with NHIS, Tamale Sub, and Ghana Health Service – Tamale Metro Dohini Health Centre. Through this collaboration, we were able to provide vital health services to over 400 people, far exceeding our initial target of 200.

A big thank you to Hon. Attah Issah, the Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu, and Alhaji Abass for their generous financial support. Special thanks also go to the volunteers, health professionals, and everyone who contributed to the success of this event.

As I continue my journey to advocate for health and empowerment through Azima Care Foundation, I am grateful for the impact we made in Dohini and look forward to even greater things ahead.
