F                       NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GARAGES 

 The leadership of the Ghana National Association of Garages in Northern Region (GNAGNR) has bemoaned the lack of space, good roads, and social amenities within the industrial area. According to the Secretary of Garages, Alhaji Osman Sadick attributed the problem to the encroachment of lands within the industrial area. He said the Tamale Metropolitan assembly has neglected their duties to provide the area with amenities. Alhaji Sadick has therefore appealed to the assembly and the Mp for the Tamale South constituency to come to their aid and relocate the industrial area to enable all members including roadside and household mechanics, welders and vulganizers move to the new location. Speaking to the Youth Chairman of the industrial area, Alhassan Sayibu said if facilities such as shops, a pharmacy, a canteen, and well laid out roads are provided at the new location it will make relocation effective and also enable fire service to be able to fight any fire outbreak in the area, as well as easy access to first aid in times of work place accidents. An opinion leader Ibrahim Mahama Blamer said the assembly promised them street lights in the area some years ago when they came round to collect tax but nothing has been done so far. He therefore appealed to the assembly to take cognizance of their economic role in the industrial sector and come to their aid.
