Four newly appointed District Chief Executives (DCEs) have been sworn-in to assume office in the Northern Region.

They are Mr Dan Wudinayi Makandan for Mion, Mr Nicholas Waake for Tatale Sanguli, Mr Sorku Kassim Yahuza for North Gonja and Mr Maxwell Awuntor Mahama for Mamprugu-Moaduri.

He urged them to be guided by the rules of the assemblies in the discharge of their duties to ensure transparency.

Mr Mahama, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, pledged their commitment to work for the development of their localities.

He thanked the President for the confidence reposed in them and promised not to fail him.
