In that regard, he lamented the slow pace of development of the constituency and stated that if given the nod, he would implement a number of projects geared towards improving the standard of living of the constituents and accelerated development.
Chief Akilu was speaking to the media at his Tolon residence.
Chief Akilu was the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Tamale North in 2012 but has now relocated to the Tolon Constituency to serve following widespread calls from the people of the Tolon Constituency.
Vision
The MP hopeful disclosed that his topmost priority, when he goes to Parliament, would be to curb indiscipline in the Tolon Senior High School (SHS) by constructing a fence around the campus and to provide a pickup for the headmaster for effective transportation and supervisory services.
Chief Akilu also pledged to provide an ambulance and another pickup for the Tolon District Hospital to facilitate effective healthcare delivery and outreach services to communities within the constituency.
"Good drinking water shall be another thing I will prioritise as an MP and I will not mind using my salary as a Member of Parliament to initiate the above projects which are long overdue,” he stressed.
He commended the Ministries of Roads, Energy, Communications and Education for some interventions that they had implemented in the constituency and appealed for more opportunities and initiatives on behalf of the constituents of Tolon.
