We promised the people of Zongo and we are delivering through sustainable policy, with education as the catalyst.&#8221;<br><br>&#8220;There is so much work to do to ensure that the ZDF spreads its development to more Zongos across the country,&#8221; Dr. Bawumia told the board members.<br><br>Members of the Board are:<br><br>Mr. Seidu H Nasigri, Alhaji (Chairman),&nbsp; Arafat Sulemana (CEO), Ahmed Saed, Hajia Barkisu Seidu Bawie, Chief Dalhu S.
