While many events that took place in the Northern, North East and Savannah regions would be considered significant given the diverse nature of the three regions, once together as one, it was the sad events, such as the killing of a 90-year-old woman and the incessant cases of armed robbery, that dominated the headlines.
And who will forget the floodings that displaced hundreds of people and also destroyed farmlands that robbed farmers of their livelihoods that occurred in the three regions?
Despite these unfortunate incidents, some events such as the cutting of sod for works to begin on the Tamale project, a significant move to solve the perennial water challenges in the region, cannot be overlooked.
