George Lakoba Tanie has been appointed as the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the Zabzugu District in Ghana’s Northern Region, bringing a wealth of experience in healthcare and community development. His appointment marks a historic milestone as the first Konkomba to hold the position, adding a significant dimension to the district’s political landscape.
With a strong background in healthcare, Tanie has served at Tantala CHPS, Yezesi Health Center, and Gor-Tanei CHPS, gaining firsthand experience in addressing critical community needs. His deep understanding of public health, coupled with his passion for development, positions him well to tackle pressing issues such as poverty, unemployment, and infrastructure deficits in the district.
His vision for Zabzugu is rooted in improving healthcare, boosting local economic development, enhancing education, and addressing the district’s longstanding infrastructure challenges. He believes that with the support of the people, these goals can be achieved, creating better living standards for all.
Politically, Tanie’s appointment by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is seen as a strategic move to strengthen its influence in the area, traditionally a stronghold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by former MP Hon. John Jabba. His leadership could serve as a bridge between political divides, fostering unity and development in the district.
Beyond politics, Tanie’s dedication to healthcare has earned him notable recognition, including the Nightingale Prestigious Award and the Rural Best Nursing Officer Award from the Ghana Registered Nurses Association. These accolades reflect his commitment to making a meaningful impact in people’s lives.
As he assumes office, there is growing optimism among residents that his leadership will usher in a new era of transparency, accountability, and inclusive development. With his expertise and commitment, Zabzugu District stands on the verge of transformative progress.
