Saboba District is one of the sixteen districts in Northern Region, Ghana[2] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Saboba-Chereponi District in 1988,[3][4][5] which was created from the former East Dagomba District Council, until the northern part of the district was split off to create Chereponi District on 29 February 2008 (which is currently part of North East Region); thus the remaining part has been renamed as Saboba District.[6] The district assembly is located in the northeast part of Northern Region and has Saboba as its capital town.[5]
