The Executive Secretary of the National Peace Council (NPC) of the Central Region, Dr. Charles Ohene-Amoah, has appealed to the government and institutions for financial and logistical support to carry out peace campaigns and sensitisation programmes.
Speaking in Tamale, Dr. Ohene-Amoah cited inadequate funding, insufficient office accommodations, and logistical challenges as major obstacles to the council's operations, limiting their visibility mainly to election periods.
He underscored the need for vehicles and funding sources for district and regional officers to effectively engage in peace-assisting activities amid rising extremism, violence, and chieftaincy disputes.
The Oti Regional Director of the National Peace Council (NPC), Paul Akornor, and the National Peace Council (NPC) Director of the Savannah Region, Kennedy Attepo, said that despite the limited resources, efforts were underway to tackle the soaring extremism and violence-related activities.
They, however, called on the government to provide additional resources to support their efforts to enable them to work properly.
