Apart from Bolgatanga, Navrongo, and Paga, communities such as Zuarungu, Zarre, Sumbrungu, Kalbeo, Gambibigo, Winkogo, Bongo, Yorogo, Pungu, and Akomkongu are also set to benefit from the project.
Three hundred and forty-seven thousand, four hundred and forty-six people (347,446) in total, will be served with safe, potable water.
Akufo-Addo is embarking on a day’s tour of the Upper East Region.
The tour comes in the wake of concerns at Ghana’s border Region over the influx of supposed refugees from Burkina Faso.
