THE Bawku Mamprusi elders in the Upper East Re­gion have made a passionate appeal to Government agencies and corporate institutions who fled the place over the insecurity situation to return to the area.

The Bawku Municipality, the elders said, had been reeling in seri­ous economic crisis in the wake of the communal disturbances, with thousands of natives relocating to other parts of the country.

However, the elders men­tioned that the community had recently seen relative peace for almost half-a-year, and the people would be glad if the business organ­isations; both State-owned and private institutions returned to continue their businesses to develop the place.

The Spokesperson for the elders, Mohammed Tahiru Nambe, disclosed this at this year's Damba Festival marked in Bawku, Sunday.
