Jama: Nnaa Lanjagor Karley II, the Paramount Chief of the Jama Traditional Area in the Savannah Region, has called on the Bui Power Authority (BPA), managers of the Bui Generating Station, to advance the development of the area. He emphasized the need for effective collaboration between BPA and the traditional leaders to tackle the emerging development needs of the people.
According to Ghana News Agency, Nnaa Karley made this appeal during a stakeholder's engagement meeting organized by the BPA at Jama in the Bole-Bambio district. This meeting provided an opportunity for the Authority to present its 2025 Annual Report to the community members. The Paramount Chief highlighted the high expectations of jobs and sustainable development among the people due to the operations of the BPA.
Despite the operations of the Bui Dam, Nnaa Karley expressed concerns over the lack of electricity in Jama Township and adjoining communities such as Jama Moonyoa. He emphasized that connecting the area to the national electricity grid would create job opportunities for locals and promote rapid socio-economic growth and development. "Electricity here will contribute significantly to economic activities and holistic development," stated the Paramount Chief.
Nnaa Karley reaffirmed the commitment of the Jama Traditional Area to collaborate with the BPA and other stakeholders to enhance the development of the area and improve the lives of the people.
