The Chiefs and people of the Biakoye Constituency have praised the profound impact of the creation of the Oti Region.

The Oti Region was carved out of the Volta Region, as one of six new regions President Akufo-Addo's administration has created to accelerate development.

Welcoming Dr Bawumia to Buem in the Biakoye Constituency, traditional authorities of the area hailed the level of development the new Oti Region has seen since its creation.

"The creation of the Oti Region, a monumental achievement that has brought government closer to our people," said the Chiefs, who also praised the New Patriotic Party, both under former president Agyekum Kufuor and President Akufo-Addo.

"We recall with gratitude the era of J. A. Kufuor under whose leadership we had a secondary school, laying the foundation for our youth to excel," he said.

"Under the current leadership of His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Buem has witnessed even more remarkable development. We commend you for your role in the creation of the Oti Region."

"Additionally we are grateful for the construction of the Hohoe Jasikan road and the construction of Jasikan-Dodi-Pepesu road. These roads have been transformative, easy to travel on, and enhancing within our communities."

"In the area of health, we recognise the Agenda 111 initiative and its impact."

The community acknowledged the NPP's massive investment in education, at both the local and national levels, referring to the construction of classroom and dormitory blocks, as well as the Free Senior High School and TVET policies.
