Nakpanzoo, (N/R), May 18, GNA- CHASE Company, a private oil company, has constructed a borehole each for the Nakpanzoo and Tong communities in the Savelugu/Nanton and Kariga districts in the Northern Region. The two projects which cost over GHc 100,000.00, forms part of the company’s corporate social responsibility aimed at improving the lives of deprived communities.

Mr. Sam Amoah, Marketing Manager of the company, who inaugurated the boreholes at two seperate ceremonies, said the company was focused on the provision of water, education and environmental management in deprived communities.

He said the provision of the boreholes in Nakpanzoo and Tong communities was the fourth in the row of projects the company had undertaken over the last four years and mentioned that in 2007, the Company constructed two boreholes at Gaaniin the Kassena Nankana district and Kongo in the Garu-Tempane district all in the Upper East Region. “It is our wish that the saved time particularly for our children would be spent in the classroom in educating themselves for a better future”, Mr. Amoah said.

Prince Askia Mohammed, Savelugu/Nanton District Chief Executive, in a speech read for him, said the district was noted for “its record of topping the league of guineaworm infestation in the country” and hoped with the provision of the boreholes, the incidence of the disease would be reduced if not eliminated from the district. He said records of the guineaworm infestation in the district for the last quarter of last year showed three cases from Diare, two from Depali, while the whole northern region recorded six cases. Prince Mohammed enumerated a number of programmes being implemented by the government including the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority, the Northern Rural Growth Programme and the Rural Safety Net Project,to improve upon the living conditions of the people in the Northern Regions.
