The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has highly commended Pog Naa Chaana, the Ambassador for the SheaPark Resource Hub. Project, for her exceptional hospitality and leadership in building strong support for the development initiative.
Speaking during a sod-cutting ceremony for a modern meeting hall at the Wa Naa’s Palace on Saturday, the Speaker revealed details of a high-profile meeting hosted at his residence to deliberate on the goals and strategic value of the Shea Resource Hub.
Reflecting on the gathering, Speaker Bagbin was full of praise for Pog Naa Chaana’s remarkable culinary skills. He noted that the delicious traditional dishes she prepared left a lasting impression on the guests, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that facilitated a highly productive dialogue.
According to the Speaker, the culinary showcase was not just about the food but served as a testament to the richness of the region’s cultural heritage, a core element woven into the identity of the local shea industry.
The meeting in the Speaker’s home brought together several influential and prominent figures from across the country. Speaker Bagbin disclosed that after comprehensive deliberations, all the dignitaries present unanimously agreed to and endorsed the core purpose of the Shea Resource Hub project.
The initiative is poised to tap into the massive economic potential of the shea sector, providing structured resources, sustainable jobs, and socio-economic transformation for the region.
The successful mobilisation of these key stakeholders marks a critical milestone for the project, which continues to gain momentum. With yesterday’s sod-cutting ceremony for the modern meeting hall at the Wa Naa’s Palace, traditional authorities and national leaders are visibly aligning to bring lasting infrastructural development to the Upper West Region.
