The Deputy Co-ordinating Director in the Karaga District Assembly of the Northern Region, Mr Salifu Mohammed Awal, has urged individuals and organisations to intensify efforts at bringing peace, unity and development in the area.

He said there was the need to bring together differ­ent ethnic groups to showcase their cultural heritage towards development in their respective communities.

Mr Awal, therefore, urged individuals and organi­sations to harness the cultural heritage of the people for peace and progress.

He commended Changing Lives in Innovative Partnerships (CLIP), a non-governmental organi­sation operating in the region, for working with the assembly to promote peace among ethnic groups, including Fulbes and Dagombas, in the region.
