This, he noted would compensate the people of Jasikan for their leadership role in making the creation of the Oti Region a success and their hope for hosting the regional capital which didn't happen.

The chief made the appeal when Jasikan gave the president a rousing welcome on Tuesday May 14, when the president begun his two days tour of the Oti Region as part of the 6 days tour of the Oti, North East and Savanna Regions.

The Paramount chief also expressed gratitude on behalf of his people to the president for making their dream of having a region a reality, thus the creation of the Oti Region has been a long held ambition of the people.

“We can never find appropriate words to convey our joy, appreciation and gratitude to you (President Akufo-Addo) for making this half-a-century old dream of our people, including our ancestors, come true in our time,” he said.

Nana Akpanja VI also lauded the president for the various interventions his government has instituted especially in the agriculture sector to create jobs and ensure food security, adding that the free Senior High School programme aimed at improving the human resources of the country has made it possible for a lot of children with financial difficulty to have access to secondary education.
