The Member of Parliament (MP) for Yendi, Abdul-Fatawu Alhassan, has assured constituents that the long-awaited Yendi Water Supply Project is set to begin before the end of this year and will be completed by the close of 2026.
The Yendi Water Project is part of a broader infrastructure initiative announced by President John Dramani Mahama during a meeting with the Overlord of Dagbon, Ya-Na Abukari II, at Jubilee House on June 13, 2025. The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving water and sanitation systems across the Northern Region.
Funding for the Yendi project, along with similar developments in Tamale and Damongo, has already been secured through a grant from the European Union. The initiative is expected to benefit over 50 underserved communities in Dagbon and surrounding areas.
Speaking in an interview on on Friday June 27, the Yendi MP underscored the critical importance of the project, saying that access to clean water remains one of the most pressing needs in the constituency.
The project, once completed, is expected to transform public health and quality of life in the region.
Alhassan told host Sammi Wiafe that the project “Will commence hopefully before the end of the year, and by the end of next year, it should be done.
He added: “It is one thing that, when it is done—if that alone is done within my four years—I will breathe so well.”
