The appointment letter was personally presented to Marabu this afternoon in Accra by Alhaji Inusah Mahama, the Savannah Regional Youth Organizer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority (NYA). This gesture highlights the intertwined roles of youth empowerment and environmental governance in Ghana’s evolving landscape.

Marabu, a steadfast NDC party member, has been a pivotal figure in the Salaga South constituency’s electoral efforts. His contributions spanned the 2016, 2020, and 2024 general elections, where he played key roles in mobilizing support, coordinating campaigns, and fostering community engagement. “Marabu’s dedication exemplifies the spirit of service that the NDC champions,” noted a source close to the campaign teams, emphasizing his transition from political foot soldier to a formal role in national environmental protection.

The EPA Ghana, established under the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1994 (Act 491), plays a crucial role in regulating environmental impacts, promoting sustainable development, and addressing challenges like illegal mining and climate resilience in northern Ghana. Marabu’s new position positions him to influence programs that protect savannah ecosystems and support local livelihoods, aligning seamlessly with his background in regional advocacy.

Alhaji Inusah Mahama, known for his dynamic leadership in youth mobilization, has been instrumental in bridging political networks with institutional opportunities.

As NYA Deputy CEO, he continues to advocate for youth involvement in governance, recently urging NDC youth to drive the party’s 2024 victory and future policies. His delivery of the appointment letter symbolizes a rewarding partnership between political dedication and professional advancement.

Congratulations pour in from across the political and environmental sectors for Abubakari Issifu aka Marabu. This appointment not only marks a personal triumph but also inspires young Ghanaians to pursue careers in public service amid growing environmental imperatives.
