Tatale/Sanguli DCE Woos Teachers, Nurses with Promising Prospects
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Tatale/Sanguli in the Northern Region, Hon. Mary Tagba, has appealed to public sector teachers and nurses to accept postings to the district and contribute to improving education and healthcare delivery.
Hon. Tagba made the appeal when she appeared before the Local Government Committee of Parliament on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
She explained that the district is undergoing rapid development through close collaboration between the District Assembly and the Member of Parliament.
“Our common goal is to reset Tatale/Sanguli District. The MP and I work together closely, and we are united in our efforts to bring transformation to our area,” she said.
Highlighting some of the major challenges facing the district, the DCE lamented the poor state of the road network, especially during the rainy season, which often cuts off communities due to the lack of culverts and bridges.
“As a mother, I understand how difficult it can be during such times. Many communities become inaccessible when it rains. Even constructing culverts and bridges will help people cross to the district capital for healthcare and other economic activities,” she noted.
Hon. Tagba revealed that the Assembly and the MP are investing in essential infrastructure, including CHPS compounds, schools, teachers’ cottages, and nurses’ quarters, but said staffing remains a major concern.
“We are building facilities to serve the people, but we need teachers and nurses to operate them. I appeal to all teachers and nurses across the country to accept postings to Tatale/Sanguli. You will never regret it,” she emphasized.
She described the people of Tatale/Sanguli as hardworking, warm, and welcoming, assuring that professionals who take up postings there will find a supportive community.
“Sometimes people judge the district by its name, but I can assure you that Tatale/Sanguli is full of serious, lovely people. I have lived here for 30 years without ever relocating to Accra or Kumasi — and I am proud of that,” she said.
Touching on the state of development projects, Hon. Tagba disclosed that upon assuming office on June 25, 2025, she began inspecting boreholes and other infrastructure inherited from previous administrations. She said some projects documented as completed turned out to be nonexistent.
“In some communities, I found that no boreholes had been constructed despite records indicating otherwise. I am taking my time to verify all projects to ensure our people get what truly belongs to them,” she stated.
The DCE also assured that the Assembly will soon operationalize the DRIP machines to boost local agriculture.
“My drip coordinator is on standby, and very soon, the system will be in full operation,” she concluded.
