A Volta Region interest
advocacy group, ‘Voice of Volta’ has called for the reawakening of traditional
authorities and indigenes of the Volta region to push for the total development
of the region.
According the group, despite
the region is endowed with both natural and human resources; it is still slugging
behind in almost every facet of development, hence the need for a renaissance,
which would propel everyone into action to uplift the region unto a better
developmental pedestal.
Addressing journalists at a
press briefing in Ho last Friday, the group’s Secretary, Mr Charles Siayor stated
that, the renaissance should be culturally driven by traditional authorities in
the region, who “in contemporary times, lead the way in fighting
underdevelopment”.
He further stated that “No nation
or people could move forward if its body-politics is incoherent” and called for
a strong bonding between chiefs and their people as a precursor to creating the
atmosphere, for the take-off everybody was asking for.
This, according to Mr.
Siayor could be the only way to “raise a formidable front as a people to
dialogue with governments and local authorities to influence the development
agenda of the region”.
