The West Mamprusi Assembly has commended Naa Salma for taking a decisive step aimed at reducing drug abuse, Asaase Radio reported on Friday, 23 October 2026.
According to Asaase Radio, the assembly publicly acknowledged the move as a bold one. The report did not specify what measures Naa Salma had introduced or when they took effect.
West Mamprusi is a district in Ghana's North East Region, and the assembly is its local government authority. The commendation places the assembly's formal support behind Naa Salma's effort, though Asaase Radio's report gave no further detail on the scope of the initiative or how it will be carried out.
Drug abuse has been a recurring concern for communities and local authorities across Ghana, and the assembly's public endorsement signals that it intends to be seen backing the push. Asaase Radio's account did not include statements from Naa Salma or from assembly members beyond the commendation itself.
The report also gave no indication of whether the assembly plans to commit resources or partner with other bodies to support the effort.
Watch for further reporting from Asaase Radio on the specific measures Naa Salma has taken and whether the assembly follows its commendation with concrete action.
