Chiefs and residents in the Issa Traditional Area are unhappy. They are asking for a Ghana Education Service district office construction to be moved back to their area.
The office complex and bungalow were planned for Issa. However, a decision was made to relocate the construction to Daffiama.
Traditional leaders from Issa have submitted a petition. They are directing their demands to the Upper West Regional Coordinating Council.
The petition accuses the regional coordinating council of making the decision to relocate the project. The grounds for the relocation are being disputed by the chiefs.
The leaders and residents want the decision reversed immediately. They believe the project should remain in Issa as originally planned.
The Ghana Education Service is responsible for education facilities. The location of its district offices is important for administration and development.
Further details regarding the specific reasons for the relocation have not been fully disclosed. The situation has created tension in the DBI District.
The outcome of the chiefs' petition will determine the final location of the new GES district office complex.
