Togbi Ekpē Subo V, Chief of Dome-Kpornugah of Anlo-Afiadenyigba, has urged President John Dramani Mahama to prioritize the completion of the Weta-Afiadenyigba-Havedzi road to attract investors and enhance economic activities in the area.

He made this appeal during his maiden speech at his coronation ceremony, held on Saturday at the Anlo-Afiadenyigba durbar grounds.

Togbi Ekpē Subo emphasized that his request was based on the fact that President Mahama was conferred the title of Developmental Chief of Anlo-Afiadenyigba during his campaign ahead of the 2024 general elections.

He, therefore, called for the President’s commitment to ensuring the completion of the project.

“It is heartwarming to acknowledge that His Excellency John Mahama is a Developmental Chief of Anlo-Afiadenyigba. Therefore, I take this opportunity to make a humble appeal, through our Member of Parliament, Hon. Kwame Dzudzorli Gakpey, and the Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwame Governs Agbodza, for His Excellency’s urgent intervention in completing the Weta-Afiadenyigba-Havedzi road,” he stated.

Togbi Ekpē Subo highlighted the significance of the road project, explaining that its completion would improve access to Anlo-Afiadenyigba and several other farming and fishing communities in the Anlo area.

He noted that better road infrastructure would encourage investment and significantly contribute to the government’s agro-business initiatives.

“Completing this road will not only enhance connectivity but also boost economic activities, particularly in the fishing, salt mining, kente weaving, and agricultural sectors. This, in turn, will create employment opportunities and improve the livelihoods of our people,” Togbi added.

In his address, Togbi Ekpē Subo V reaffirmed his commitment to providing transformational leadership, focusing on improved healthcare, quality education, and the promotion of peace and unity among his people.

He also announced the establishment of educational support projects to motivate brilliant young people in the community to pursue excellence.

The coronation also saw the outdooring of Mama Yeshike Subo II and Agbotadua Amesimeku.

The Weta-Afiadenyigba-Havedzi road, approximately 15 kilometers long, serves as a critical link between the Ketu North Municipality and the Keta Municipality, passing through Weta, a farming community known for its rice plantations, and Metrikasa before reaching Afiadenyigba, a vibrant economic hub noted for fishing, kente weaving, salt mining, and trading, among other activities.

The construction of this road is expected to enhance trade, transportation, and overall development within the southern part of the region.
