The Deputy Minister-Designate for Roads and Highways, Alhassan Suhuyini, marked the conclusion of his vetting before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, with a symbolic gesture—presenting traditional smocks to each committee member.

After addressing questions about his vision and plans for the ministry, the Tamale Central MP expressed gratitude to the committee members and gifted them the smocks, a signature attire of the Northern Region.

Symbol of Cultural Appreciation

“In the spirit of accountability, permit me to announce that my revered chiefs brought you a smock for me to present on your behalf, and the same will be provided for all members of this committee so that in your next sitting, perhaps you all will be dressed in a Dagbon smock,” Suhuyini stated.

Committee Chairman Bernard Ahiafor welcomed the gesture, responding, “Thank you very much. It is much appreciated, and I am most grateful.”
