Alhaji Haruna, a former parliamentary aspirant for the Ablekuma Central Constituency, will oversee the development and progress of Zongo communities across the country.
In his new role, he is expected to spearhead initiatives in education, healthcare, and infrastructure aimed at upgrading the living standards of Zongo communities.
“The Zongo Development Fund is central to our Reset Agenda of inclusiveness and equity. I expect Alhaji Haruna to bring his experience and dedication to ensure that our Zongo communities are not left behind in national development,” President Mahama said.
