The DCE for Ningo Prampram Hon. Al Latiff Amanor has called on stakeholders of the district to work together in unity and eschew tendencies of political differences to push the district forward, also of importance was the need to double up the collection of daily tolls to increase the Internally Generated Funds (IGF) base of the Assembly.

He added that the district has reached a state where it should be awarded a municipality status, this he said will allow for more resources to handle the many projects and programmes residents deserve.

Its preparation lingers on key principles such as enhancing efficiency, effectiveness, acceptability, value for money, maximum impact, broader consultation among others, with expected outcomes which include increased IGF, gross enrolment at basic school levels, increase in crop and animal production among many outcomes which should be derived from projects, programmes of all assemblies.
