Busunu, the capital of Busunu Traditional Area has taken custody of a new Astro Turf to help in promoting sports and social and religious development in the area. The Astro Turf will as well boost juvenile football for both males and females to unearth talents for future growth and development of the sport in the Damongo Constituency.

This is the third Astro Turf I am commissioning in the Damongo Constituency. First was Damongo Astro Turf, second was Laribanga and today I’m here to commission the third Astro Turf for Busunu, all in the Damongo Constituency of the Savannah region”.
The minister of lands and natural resources commended the chiefs and people of the area for the confidence reposed in him during the 2020 general elections and assured them he will work to fulfill the Social Contract they signed with him.
“I want to thank you very much for your love and support. I’m assuring you of my commitment to fulfilling the social contract you signed with me on 7th December, 2020 by lobbying development to this area. Once this Astro Turf is commissioned and handed over to the chiefs and people of Busunu, my next target is to complete the SHS project.
