THE people of Likpe-Abrani in the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region have installed Nana Akototse VI as the new chief of the town, to succeed the former chief, who died two years ago.
Known in private life as Mr Allen Komla Mantey, Nana Akototse, 61, is a retired Chief Inspector of the Ghana Police Service.
At a ceremony to introduce him, Nana Akototse said he had accepted the challenge to rule, and promised that with the support of his elders and the help of Almighty God, he would provide quality leadership.
He called for a high sense of discipline, tolerance and peace from both the young and the old people in the town in order to achieve his objective.
Nana Akototse advised the youth to take farming seriously as a business, adding that they should learn vocational and technical trades in order to be employable.
He said quality education and good sanitation were crucial to the development of the community and so he would ensure that every child of school age was enrolled in school.
The chief called on all churches and identifiable groups to foster unity, love and peace, adding that the people should learn to co-exist.
He warned that “hard drug trade will not find place in the Abrani community”.
In an address, the Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Peter Amewu, commended the people of Likpe for re-organising the chieftaincy institution in an orderly and a grand style.
He, therefore, urged them to sustain the enthusiasm exhibited during the ceremonies and translate that into concrete support for the chief in order for the community to achieve its development agenda.
Mr Amewu made a personal donation of GH¢200 at a fund-raising launched in aid of development projects in the town.
A former Volta Regional Secretary now with the Public Services Commission, Dr Francis Agbley, was also elected the stool father to the new chief at the same function.
