Anlo-Afiadenyigba, (V/R), Jan. 27, GNA – Togbi Kadzahlo Drabese IV, Dufia and Paramount Chief of Anlo-Afiadenyigba has extended his congratulations to President John Dramani Mahama (Torgbi Dunenyo) on his recent electoral victory
In his message, Togbi Kadzahlo Drabese IV applauded the President for championing a very decent campaign over the period. He also touted him for considering sons and daughters from the Volta Region in constituting his government, a move Togbi believed would help boost the chances of Region’s development.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, Togbi Kadzahlo urged the President to prioritise the development of better road networks across the country.
He specifically highlighted the critical need for improved roads connecting Metrikasa, Weta, and Anlo Afiadenyigba to Havedzi, describing the current state of these roads as “death traps.”
“For the President’s flagship programme of “24 Hour Economy” to flourish, there must be good road networks to connect farming communities to the urban areas for an improved local economy,” Togbi said.
The paramount chief said that such infrastructure improvements were crucial for supporting the President’s 24-hour Economy Policy and other major flagship policies ensuring safer travel for residents.
In August 2024, President John Dramani Mahama was enstooled as an Infrastructure and developmental chief under the title, “Togbi Dunenyo I” led by Togbi Kadzahlo IV and Togbi Akamu V upon his campaign visit to the area. This enstoolment the people of Anlo Afiadenyigba believes will motivate Mr Mahama to prioritise infrastructural development in the Anlo area, particularly the Havedzi-Afiadenyigba-Metrikasa-Weta roads
The Havedzi-Afiadenyigba-Metrikasa road connects the coastal district of Keta, Anloga to the farming areas of Ketu North and Ketu South, but had been in a very deteriorating nature over the years, which made residents called on previous and current governments to fix it for improved transportation to boost trade in the area.
