The Savannah Regional Minister, Mr. Salisu Be-Awuribe, emphasized that the training was part of efforts to bolster the capacity of MDCEs to drive effective governance, improve development planning, and promote sustainable growth. Be-Awuribe explained that the program was designed to equip MDCEs with the necessary knowledge and tools to provide quality leadership, manage budgets effectively, and address the needs of their communities.

He highlighted that the training facilitated exchanges between the SRCC and MDCEs, enabling them to share insights on innovative approaches to accelerate development. The minister stressed that strengthening MDCEs' leadership would enhance their commitment to fulfilling their roles and promoting development at the grassroots level.

He urged the MDCEs to prioritize infrastructure development and other projects to transform their communities, improve living standards, and foster overall growth. Be-Awuribe also encouraged MDCEs to pursue initiatives that empower communities and enable residents to contribute meaningfully to productivity and socio-economic development.

The minister assured the assemblies of the SRCC's continued support in providing training programs to enhance their capacity to deliver essential infrastructure and services for sustainable development. He encouraged MDCEs to continue collaborating with the SRCC as the council prepares to roll out more development initiatives to improve the livelihoods of people across the region.
