WA TO HOST CULTURAL FESTIVAL (PAGE 20)

A YOUTH cultural festival aimed at bringing the youth from the various districts in the region to exhibit their traditional cultures, is to be held at Wa, the Upper West Regional capital.
The programme, which is to be organised by the regional office of the National Youth Council (NYC), will also serve as a platform for peace and unity promotion in the region.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in Wa, the acting Regional Coordinator of the NYC, Mr Mumuni Suleimana, appealed to the district assemblies in the region to lend their support to the programme to ensure its success.
He said the relative peace in the region must be sustained, stressing that one of the measures to achieve that objective was to bring the citizens of the region together through cultural performances.
Mr Suleimana advised the people in the region to patronise the event since it would be one of the best organised events in the area.
He stated that a project to involve the youth in the manufacture of local sandals would soon be launched in the Wa municipality to offer employment opportunities for the youth in the area.
Mr Suleimana, therefore, appealed to young people in the municipality to avail themselves of the programme when it was launched.
