Development thrives only on the soil of peace and unity -Adaklu DCE

Mr Jerry Yao Ameko, the Adaklu District Chief Executive (DCE) has said “peace and unity are the most fertile soil on which development thrives.”

He has, therefore, called on the people of Adaklu Ablornu in the Adaklu district to unite and rally behind their Chiefs for the rapid development of the community.

Mr Ameko stated this at a grand durbar of the chiefs and people of Adaklu Ablornu to mark their sixth Afordeza.

It was on the theme “Empowering Educators, Enriching Communities: Building brighter futures.”

“To enable us to benefit fully from the reset agenda of President John Dramani Mahama, the people of Adaklu must unite and be at peace with each other,” he noted.

The DCE intimated that Adaklu had suffered for far too long under different authorities and jurisdictions and said, “I am happy we have moved from that stage to another level.”

He noted that Adaklu could not develop in a state of chaos and acrimony and called on every citizen to be a vessel of unity and peace.

Mr Ameko advised the people to shy away from backbiting and mudslinging and engaged in constructive dialogue with both traditional and political authorities in the district.

He told the people that several development projects were ongoing in the district including classroom blocks, teachers and nurse quarters, and roads.

Mr Ameko who is also the Dean of Volta Region MDCEs assured the people of Adaklu Ablornu that the Assembly in collaboration with Mr. Governs Kwame Agbodza Minister for Roads and Highways and Member of Parliament for Adaklu would complete the ongoing teacher’s bungalow and provide furniture for their Kindergarten.

He asked the people to use the Easter season for a sober reflection for both their physical and spiritual development.

Mama Dzuenyeakpe III, the Queen of the community in her welcoming address, stated that “the community has been in a slumber for far too long” and told the youth to focus their attention and energy on the development of the community.

“Let us all do away with all bitterness and acrimony and hunger and thirst for the development of Adaklu Ablornu,” she stated.

Mama Dzuenyeakpe appealed to parents in the community to ensure that their children were well educated, adding “this is the surest way that Ablornu can develop rapidly and also eradicate poverty.”

She appealed to the government and the District Assembly to upgrade the road from Adaklu Waya to the community, which she said was in a very deplorable state.

Mr Raphael Anani, the Chairman of the Festival Planning Committee told the Ghana News Agency that funds raised at the durbar would be channeled into the completion of the ongoing teacher’s bungalow.

Mr Ameko on behalf of himself, and Mr Agbodza donated an amount of GHS5,000 in support of the project. An amount of GHS50,000 was realized during an appeal for funds.
