Barely six months after scrapping of the Ministry of Zongo and Inner Cities Development has President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo appointed former Member of Parliament for Offinso South, Ben Abdallah Banda as Presidential Coordinator for the Zongo Development Fund (ZDF).
President Akufo-Addo established the Zongo Development Fund as a special development vehicle to accelerate development in Zongo communities, to bridge the development gap between Zongos and other parts of the country.
In the past four years, the ZDF has undertaken several infrastructure development initiatives in the areas of education, sanitation, roads, health, sports, and many others.
The ZDF has built several classroom blocks, drainage and water systems, roads, bridges, renovated clinics, and also built many Astro football turfs in many Zongo communities across The ZDF has also offered educational scholarships to 40 Zongo needy but brilliant students to Cuba to study medicine.
Promoting education, vocational training, and entrepreneurship, as well as developing much-needed infrastructure in Zongo communities, remain the key objectives of government in the second term of the administration of President Akufo-Addo.
