A MARKETING Executive, Mr Norgah Naizer Osman is making
feverish preparations to contest the parliamentary primaries of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Tolon constituency in the Northern Region.
Mr Osman, who disclosed this to the Daily Graphic in an interview, said he
was very optimistic of being elected to represent the NDC during the 2012
parliamentary elections because the constituents were aware of his abilities.
“When nominations are opened, I would pick my form and
begin my campaign activities,” he stated.
Mr Osman said he had decided to contest the
parliamentary seat due to his desire to help champion the development of the
area, which he observed, had not been given a fair share of the national cake.
“Tolon is endowed with natural resources including
economic trees like mango, neem and shea nut. Our women need some training to
enable them undertake neem seed oil extraction for domestic and commercial
purposes,” he mentioned.
According to Mr Osman, when given the nod to represent
the constituency in parliament, his main priority would be to embark on an
aggressive development agenda to transform Tolon and its surrounding
communities.
He identified road rehabilitation as a key component
of that agenda and mentioned the Nyankpala, Gbulin and Datoyili link road and the
Nyankpala Township roads as some of the roads that would receive attention.
Another component of his planned development agenda
would be to work towards extending the national grid to all communities in
Tolon and its surroundings.
He said many areas, including Naha, Gbulahagu, Golinga,
Kpalisogu and Dindo, were without power and this impacted negatively on the
social and economic lives of the inhabitants.
“I also intend working towards improving potable water
supply and again spearhead the construction of an Information Communication
Technology (ICT) centre and library in Nyankpala,” he further mentioned.
On the source of funding for these planned projects,
Mr Osman mentioned that “a huge chunk of the funds would come from donors,”
noting that he would employ his marketing skills to attract the needed funds.
Meanwhile, Mr Osman also has plans to undertake
activities aimed towards strengthening the NDC’s party structures in the Tolon
area.
“I would work towards the establishment of a
party office and an MP’s office in Nyankpala and Tolon,” he stated.
