From Tim Dzamboe, Sokode-Bagble
THE Chief of Sokode-Bagble in the Ho Municipality of the Volta Region, Togbe Amedziklu II, has lauded his subjects for developing a deep interest in the development of the town.
“There has been a significant improvement in individuals’ recognition and consciousness towards the need for community development,” he stated.
Togbe Amekudzi said this in an address at the “Midezor za” or Progress festival of the people on the theme: “School Resourcing, an important ingredient to Educational Development” at Sokode Bagble last weekend.
He said two years ago, the people met to initiate action on the development of the town and added “I am pleased to report that the targets set for the previous celebrations had been achieved.”
He said past festivals also marked the re-union of citizens and concerned friends to development issues and commended them for that.
During the first festival, the community established an Information Communication and Technology(ICT) centre for the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Primary School and has planned to provide furniture for schools in the town from the proceedings of this year’s festival.
Togbe Amedziklu, however, said the inadequate supply of electricity to the town was limiting the full utilisation of ICT facilities and appealed to government to help solve the problem.
He also expressed regret that there were no distribution lines to connect main pipelines of a water project in the town, adding that the situation had made it impossible for the extension of potable water to various homes.
He further appealed for the supply of roofing sheets to replace very old roofs of the junior secondary school because the current structure may not stand the test of time during any incident of high storms.
Togbe Amedziklu noted that some citizens had been knocked down by speeding vehicles that ply the major highway that passed through the town and called for the construction of speed humps to ward off future accidents.
He also appealed for the enlistment of the local primary school for the school feeding programme, adding that those who have the capacity should help in the stocking of libraries of both primary and junior high schools.
In her remarks, the Chairman for the function, Mrs Esinu Darkey-Mensah, commended the people for demonstrating resoluteness to the development of the town and that their positive responses will create a better future for their children.
More than GH¢23,000 was realised during an appeal for funds at the function for the procurement of furniture for schools.
