The Bawku Municipal Chief Executive is scheduled to meet the management of some top banks in the town which have served notice they would relocate if peace is not restored to the area.
Reports say the Ghana Commercial Bank, the Agricultural Development Bank and Barclays Bank may be relocating to other parts of the Upper East Region as a result of the unstable situation in Bawku.
Bawku is currently under a curfew which runs from 4pm to 6am following the recent escalation in violence spawned by disagreements between the Mamprusis and the Kusasis.
Bawku Municipal Chief Executive, Musah Abdullai, is worried by the decisions of the banks to leave the town.
In an interview with Joy News’ Cyrus deGraft-Johnson, Mr Abdulai said he wants to engage staff of the banks to return to post after they temporarily left to assist their colleagues in other towns in the region.
For now, development efforts in the area have been channeled into restoring peace.
