Ho (V/R), Aug. 29, GNA – Mr Stephen Adom, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ho, has called on chiefs and queenmothers in the Municipality to collaborate with the Assembly to facilitate the implementation of development projects.
He said the Municipality was set to witness major developments, including a business enclave, lorry terminals, spare parts shops and other infrastructure to boost economic activities and transportation.
Mr Adom made the call during an engagement with chiefs and queenmothers of the Ho Municipality on Thursday, where he disclosed that the Assembly was planning to develop an area into a major business enclave.
He said the proposed development would include a large lorry terminal and spare parts shops to provide a central location for vehicle owners and customers to access automobile spare parts.
He added that the operationalisation of the ultra-modern abattoir would form part of the broader development of the area.
Mr Adom said plans were also underway to establish a lorry terminal for residents and commuters from Sokode around the abattoir enclave to provide an organised space for commercial transport operators.
He said the Assembly was exploring a partnership with the Ho Teaching Hospital to secure land for a mini transport terminal around the Nursing Training Junction area.
“We are going to do a lot. A lot of development is coming to the Ho Municipality, and that is why I called on the chiefs to collaborate with us,” he said.
Mr Adom expressed appreciation to the chiefs and queenmothers for participating in the engagement, noting that the presence of several paramount chiefs demonstrated their interest in the Municipality’s development.
He said regular consultation with traditional authorities, Assembly members, religious leaders and other stakeholders was important to promote public understanding and support for the Assembly’s programmes and development agenda.
The MCE said the Assembly would also engage members of the clergy to broaden stakeholder participation and create awareness of its plans and activities.
He urged chiefs and queenmothers to remain united, stressing that unity among traditional leaders was crucial to the successful implementation of development initiatives.
Mr Adom said the cooperation of chiefs was particularly important when the Assembly undertook difficult interventions, including demolition and decongestion exercises.
“Without their help, we cannot move forward,” he said, explaining that traditional authorities and Assembly members could help engage communities and secure public support for the Assembly’s programmes.
He appealed to chiefs and queenmothers to cooperate with the Assembly to ensure the successful implementation of projects and interventions aimed at transforming the Ho Municipality.
He said sustained collaboration among the Assembly, traditional authorities, religious bodies and residents would help move the Municipality forward and ensure that planned developments benefited the people.
