The District Chief Executive (DCE) for AfigyaKwabre North, Emmanuel Jackson Agumah, on Thursday paid a courtesy call on the Chief of Denase, Nana Boakye Yiadom Atonsah II, sub-chiefs and elders of the community, to seek their advice and support for ongoing development efforts.
The DCE for AfigyaKwabre North emphasised the need for unity among the traditional leaders and residents, noting that such cohesion was essential for the completion of stalled and abandoned projects initiated by the previous administration.
“All I need is unity among us, so I can continue and complete all the abandoned projects,” he said.
Responding to the DCE’s call, Nana Boakye Yiadom Atonsah II described the visit as a meaningful exchange of ideas.
He commended the DCE for his efforts so far and urged the community to rally behind him, describing Agumah as a potential “saviour” of the area.
Highlighting pressing challenges facing Denase, the Chief lamented that a school block funded by GETFund and a 10-unit toilet facility, both initiated nearly five years ago, have been left uncompleted and are deteriorating.
He also appealed for the construction of speed ramps along the Denase-Akom road to reduce road accidents and called for urgent repairs on the road network connecting Akom, Nkwantakese, Pampatia and Esaase to Denase.
Touching on electricity issues, the Chief pointed out frequent power outages caused by the overburdened transformers serving Denase and requested additional electricity poles to extend lighting to Denase and the Akom new site.
Nana Yiadom Atonsah II revealed that he has allocated a vast parcel of land at Akom for the construction of a Senior High School and appealed to the DCE to facilitate action on the project.
He urged the DCE to complete all abandoned projects in the district to complement President Mahama’s reset agenda and vision.
