The bustling town of Hohoe is set to have its long awaited sports stadium, a brainchild of the MP, John Peter Amewu, ready to be commissioned this year.

The venue boasts state-of-the-art facilities, promising to be a hub for various sports events, from football to athletics and beyond,” Alhaji said.

Engineers meticulously planned the intricate wiring and plumbing systems to ensure the stadium's functionality and comfort.” he added.

The MCE for Hohoe, Daniel Noble Awume enumerated the several developmental projects brought by the government through the MP to make Hohoe one of the best cities in the countries, and is certain of more development to come.
