In the area of revenue
generated, she lamented that the performance was far below expectation. Mrs Anamoo
however said, that security in the district has been peaceful except few schemes
of armed robbery on the Bawku-Bolga road and the lynching of an alleged
sixty-seven-year-old woman as a witch.
On Agriculture, she indicated that under the government flagship programme, planting for food and Jobs, the Nabdam district has taken delivery of 4,510 bags of fertilizer and assorted seeds for farmers, adding that following the fall of the army worm invasion, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture has procured 296 liters of pesticides which has been distributed to farmers to help fight the pest.
