The visit by the ministers forms the last phase of their familiarization tour of the Northern Region since they both assumed office.

The Minister, Saaed Salifu, addressing the regent and his elders reiterated government’s pledge not to interfere in chieftaincy issues, adding that the presidency do not determine who is enskinned as a chief. Thus, he further said, it will continue to stay clear off chieftaincy issues especially in Nanum.

Again, the minister revealed it does not lie in his powers to select who becomes a chief. Mr Saaed Salifu called for total acceptance of the rule of the traditional council within whose preserve chiefs are selected.
