Addressing the executives of the Voices of Zongo International (VOZI), an NGO dedicated to promote the development of Zongo communities, Alhaji Muntaka pointed out that, doing away with sectarianism and divisions in ideologies were the only way to promote collective approach to tackle the developmental agenda of Zongo communities. He said sectarianism, ideological differences, factionalism and tribal rivalry among the people in Zongo communities over the years, were the major contributor to stagnated development and poverty among the people in those communities. Alhaji Muntaka pointed out that, it was disheartening to realize that various groups have been organizing different programmes to promote Zongo development but serious problems continued to exist due to sharp differences among the people in Zongo communities. He advised them to work hard to complement efforts by various stakeholders to promote improved socio-economic and living conditions of people in Zongo communities across Ghana.
