The West Mamprusi Municipal Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has visited some communities in the area to sensitise them on the need for peaceful coexistence and national cohesion to promote development.

It was to further sensitise them to put aside whatever negarive energies and confrontations that ensued during last year’s general election, and to enable them to refocus their contribution to the country’s development.

Communities visited were Wungu, Bulbia, Zua, Yama, Diibsi, Kpasenkpe, Sareba, Duu Silinga, Wulugu and Walewale Market.

Mr Thomas Imoro Issahaku , West Mamprusi Municipal Director of NCCE, who led staff of the NCCE office to address community members through face-to-face meetings and announcements during the visit, urged them to forget the past and forge ahead in unity.

He urged those who felt wronged by others to accept any apologies they would render.

He said, “If Ghana develops, the benefits will go to everybody and same will happen if Ghana doesn’t progress.”

He urged the winning party during the elections to bring on board members so that they would all contribute their quota towards the development of the communities and the country.

He urged the community members not to discriminate against minority ethnic groups to avoid rancour.

Other speakers were Madam Salifu Zeinab, a Chief Field Officer of the NCCE, Mr Mohammed Alhassan, also a Chief Field Officer of the NCCE and Madam Ubeidatu Abubakari.
