This is to congratulate warmly TogbeAfede XIV, Paramount Chief of the Asogli State, on his election as the President of the National House of Chiefs, which took place on Thursday, November 24, 2016.

His predecessor, Naa Professor John Nabila, is also to be commended for steering the affairs of the House successfully over the last 8 years. 

I am confident that TogbeAfede XIV will bring his wealth of experience to bear in the discharge of his duties to the House, and in the shaping of the national discourse, as we seek to build a progressive and prosperous nation.

I wish him well.
