BRIEF PROFILE OF SALVIUS BENI AUTHORED BY HIM
Salvius Beni was born and bred in Wa to Albert Beni and Vivien Nuzagl, both educationists but also very active members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Raised by politically active parents, the party’s doctrines were inculcated in my upbringing making me grow into the party, hence I am no stranger at all.
Becoming politically active just after a decade old, which passion was ignited by an astute politician and acclaimed parliamentarian, the late Hon. Edward Salia (whom I affectionately called Uncle Salia), I painstakingly followed the activities of the great NDC despite my tenderness.
Leadership fished me out when I was nominated and subsequently elected by my fellow compatriots in St. Francis Xavier Junior Seminary as Vice President of the Jirapa Area Students Union (JASU).
Entering into the University of Professional Studies, Accra, I took up the mantle to serve as Secretary of the Tertiarty Education Institutions Network (TEIN) in 2019 and upon my hard work, was elevated to the high office of President of TEIN UPSA in the 2020/2021 academic year.
My tenure as President saw the unprecedented victory of the NDC at the polling stations on campus winning 2/3 polling stations in the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
Also, with self sponsorship and that of other benevolent party loyalist, I championed several reforms of the fraternity including the introduction and launch of the TEIN fund, rebranding of TEIN with pull-up banners, the process of acquiring a self-owned canopy, table and chairs for TEIN UPSA, countless hostel and classroom outreach tours which saw the participation of party stalwarts like Hon. John Dumelo and Hon. Edem Agbana, failed attempts of holding sporting, cleanup activities and student participation in media talk shows for the great NDC party under the guidance of Mr. Malik Basintale.
I also worked very closely with the then patron, Prof. Fred Awaah (now board Chairman of the National Sports Authority) to bring to reality the vision of making TEIN UPSA the most vibrant intellectual branch of the party nationwide and this is evident for all to see.
I served as research assistant to Hon. Samuel Abdulai Jabanyite (MP for Chereponi as he then was) from August 2019 to January 2021. From June 2021 to January 2025, worked with Empire Domus as Project Manager and Procurement Officer and can confidently say I have maintained a good teamwork with all relevant stakeholders while ensuring utmost standards in realizing the vision of the company.
In December 2022, I lobbied and attempted becoming the National TEIN Coordinator for the NDC after the National Youth Conference in Cape Coast, but was unsuccessful in this bid.
From February 2025 till present, I established and manage ALSALSY Limited, an infrastructural development firm with expertise in road construction, building construction, plumbing and sewerage, energy transmission and distribution, real estate and goods supply.
It is, therefore, with this track record that I present myself to be elected to the high office of the Deputy Regional Secretary of the NDC in the Upper West Region to afford me the opportunity to bring on board fresh ideas to complement the tireless leadership of the Regional Secretary to consolidate the gains of the governing NDC so far and position the party towards sustaining the 11/11 victory in the region in 2028 and beyond.
