The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, has cautioned chiefs, landowners and residents of the Upper West Region against disputes over land allocation, warning that such disagreements could derail the success of the Sheapark Resource Hub.
Speaking at the official launch of the Sheapark Resource Hub in Wa, Speaker Bagbin said the project is a major development intervention meant to revive the socio-economic life of the region and must not be undermined by conflicts over where projects will be sited.
“Let us not mar the progress of this intervention with disagreements over land,” he said.
Speaker Bagbin described the launch as a historic moment for the Upper West Region, noting that the Sheapark Resource Hub is a development pathway not only for the region but for Ghana as a whole. He said the initiative, which took about 17 months of preparation, is guided by a detailed development blueprint aimed at unlocking the region’s economic potential.
The Speaker stressed that the project is not a ceremonial exercise or a political promise that will be abandoned after the launch. He said government, traditional authorities, the private sector and development partners are all committed to ensuring the success of the initiative.
He called on residents of the Upper West Region to actively support the project, work with government and private investors, and avoid actions that could slow down development.
The Sheapark Resource Hub, Speaker Bagbin said, offers hope for jobs, growth and inclusive development, but only if all stakeholders play their part and put the collective interest of the region above personal or local disputes.
