The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Hon. Philibert Fummey Amenorpe, has assured residents of Ahodwo that the government is committed to creating jobs, enhancing skills, and improving livelihoods through a series of flagship programs. His remarks came during a community engagement visit to the Ahodwo Electoral Area on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
The MCE and his team were warmly welcomed by the Chief of Ahodwo, Nana Amankwah II, and his elders. The visit, held at the Chief’s Palace, was part of the MCE’s community outreach initiative to engage local leaders, introduce himself to residents and listen to the pressing concerns of the people.
Addressing the gathering, Nana Amankwah II encouraged the MCE to remain humble and focused. He urged him to build unity within the municipality and to personally monitor the progress of development projects, rather than relying solely on office briefings.
“The responsibility you carry is great,” Nana Amankwah said. “But if you remain committed and work closely with the people, your name will be remembered long after your tenure.”
Hon. Amenorpe expressed his gratitude for the warm reception and words of wisdom, stating that he represents the President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, in the municipality. He used the occasion to introduce three new government programs: Adwuma Wura, the National Apprenticeship Program, and Feed Ghana.
“These initiatives are designed to directly improve the lives of our people,” the MCE explained. “Adwuma Wura will support young entrepreneurs with capital and technical assistance, while the National Apprenticeship Program will pay stipends to young people learning trades and provide them with working tools.”
In a farming community like Ahodwo, he noted, the Feed Ghana program would be particularly impactful. The initiative includes support for farmers’ cooperatives, access to improved seeds and farm equipment, and special recognition for outstanding school and household farms during Farmers’ Day celebrations.
Despite the positive tone, the community shared some pressing concerns, including inadequate toilet facilities and unreliable electricity supply. The MCE acknowledged these challenges and assured residents they are on his radar.
“I’m here to serve, and I’ll rely on your feedback, good or bad,” Hon. Amenorpe told the gathering. “Our traditional leaders will not be left behind. I will consult Nananom regularly because their counsel is crucial for our collective progress.”
As the meeting ended, a sense of hope lingered in the air, with residents optimistic that this new leadership might bring the change they’ve long awaited.
