The Ho Polytechnic chapter of the Northern Students Union is embarking on a peace crusade in the northern sector of the country with its focus on Bawku.
This is to help re-establish lasting peace in the area.
The 95 students of the polytechnic will organise peace talks for opinion leaders and the youth to inculcate the spirit of belonging and cohesion among the people of Northern Region.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in Ho, the Vice- President of the NSU, Mr Timothy Kyiu, said conflicts in the Northern Region had made those of them from the north feel inferior because of derogatory remarks made about them.
He said the week-long crusade would focus on a series of talks with the people in the Bawku municipality on the need for them to avoid conflicts, rivalry and other anti-social acts that may lead to conflicts and eventually delay the development of the area.
Mr Kyiu said the conflict had a long-term effect on the region because the area had been classified as a conflict zone and thus made the youth to reject posting to the area.
The Public Relations Officer of the union, Mr Mustapha Gbande, appealed for sponsorship to enable like-minded youth to undertake such public education to forestall unnecessary unrest in the communities.
