Dagbon delegation
The Dagbon delegation acknowledged the historical relations that existed between the two Kingdoms of Dagbon and the United Kingdom dating back to the colonial era.
The relations led to the drawing of the 1930 Dagbon Constitution which ushered in several development steps designed deliberately towards consolidation of peace and stability in the Dagbon Kingdom.
According to the delegation, the historic relationship that existed between the British and Dagbon influenced the visit to the Dagbon Kingdom in 1961 by Queen Elizabeth when she ascended the throne.
Dagbon Kingdom
