An aspiring Independent Parliamentary Candidate for the Damongo Constituency of the Savannah Region Mr David Tiki Dange has announced the construction of an English & Arabic as well as Vocational & Technical School in Busunu in the West Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region to promote teaching and learning of languages and vocation in the Busunu traditional area.

The Chief said; “This is your home, you can visit with a bag of development at anytime. The doors are opened. Busunu has a very vast land that can accommodate any developmental structure”.
Bonyantowura Kwaja said masons and other artisans are brought from other places to Busunu for construction works which after the establishment of the school will be a thing of the past since there will be employment opportunities especially for the youth of the area.
Meanwhile a parcel of land is expected to allocated for the project with some Chinese contractors also expected to start the construction of the project.
