Representing the Sene West District Assembly at this crucial gathering was a formidable team spearheaded by the Honorable District Chief Executive, Hon. John K. Nyarba. Alongside him stood the District Coordinating Director, Mr. Braimah Sakuru, and the District Budget Analyst, Mr. Yakubu Andaani. Also present were esteemed Chiefs from both Wiase and Dwan Traditional Councils, Heads of Department, Assembly members, and various interest groups.
The focal point of the assembly was the presentation of the draft budget, artfully delivered by Mr. Yakubu Andaani, representing the District Chief Executive. He commenced by providing a succinct overview of the district’s profile, encompassing its performance in key sectors such as Agriculture, Education, Tourism, Infrastructure, Health, and Transportation, among others.
The gathering served as a crucible for deliberations and collaborations, aiming to harmonize fiscal plans with developmental imperatives. Through robust discussions and strategic insights, the MMDAs endeavored to craft a budget that not only mirrored the aspirations of the region but also charted a course for sustainable growth and progress.
