Akufo-Addo

President Nana Akufo-Addo has given 11 New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwarts an opportunity to help deliver his developmental agenda in the Volta Region.

The Volta Regional Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation, Divine Bosson, who many describe as a workaholic, is one of the nominees of the President. 

He is expected to bring development to the regional capital of the region if confirmed by the Ho Municipal Assembly.  

Joseph Agbi, Divine Fenu, Emmanuel Gamegah and Maxwell Lugudor were nominated to head the South and North Tongu Districts, and the Keta and Ketu South Municipal Assemblies respectively.

Avegbedor Ablordey, Godwin Dadzawa, Daniel Awumee, Geoffrey Badasu, Martin Kofitse Nyahe and Prosper Kofi Patu were also nominated for the Ketu North, South Dayi, Hohoe, Kpando, Akatsi South and Akatsi North Districts respectively.

Emilia Adzimah was the only female among the 18 names put out by the Presidency to steer government affairs at the District and Municipal Assemblies. She would head the Agotime Ziope District Assembly if confirmed.
