The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Tatale-Sanguli, Mary Tagba, has urged Basare communities across Ghana to put aside tribal differences and unite to promote peace and accelerate development. According to her, unity among the Basare people is crucial to preserving their cultural heritage while creating opportunities for the youth and future generations. This call was made during an interview with Adom News Correspondent, Odehyeba Owusu Job, at the 2026 Basare Youth Association (BAYA) National Congress held at Kpandai.
The 2026 Basare Youth Association (BAYA) National Congress was held on the theme, “One People, Our Heritage, One Future.” The congress aimed to bring together Basare communities from across the country to strengthen unity, peace, and development. Mrs. Tagba emphasized that meaningful development could not thrive in an environment characterized by division and conflict. She encouraged the youth to take an active role in promoting unity and safeguarding the cultural values and heritage of the Basare people.
The outgoing Vice President of BAYA, Godson Baajike, stated that the congress was a platform for Basare communities to come together and work towards a common goal. He mentioned that BAYA had, since its inception, undertaken several initiatives to improve the livelihoods of people within Basare communities. These initiatives include supporting and sponsoring students from Basare communities to pursue tertiary education.
According to Mr. Baajike, BAYA would continue to mobilize Basare people and stakeholders to support initiatives focused on education, peace, and socio-economic development. He further called on Basare youth to remain united and contribute meaningfully to the development of their communities. This, he believes, will help preserve their cultural heritage and create a brighter future for the Basare people.
Mrs. Tagba's call for unity and peace resonated with the attendees of the congress. She stressed that embracing dialogue and peaceful coexistence is essential for the Basare communities to achieve their goals. The DCE's message was well-received by the Basare youth, who are eager to work towards a future filled with opportunities and development.
The Basare Youth Association (BAYA) has been actively working to improve the lives of Basare communities. Their initiatives have had a positive impact on the lives of many, particularly in the area of education. By supporting students in pursuing tertiary education, BAYA is helping to empower the next generation of Basare leaders.
The 2026 BAYA National Congress provided a platform for Basare communities to come together and discuss their challenges and opportunities. The event was a success, with attendees pledging to work towards unity and development. Key stakeholders, including the DCE and BAYA officials, are optimistic that this initiative will yield positive results for the Basare people.
