“The tour will provide him with firsthand insight into the daily operations of the station, allowing him to assess its efficiency and identify the existing challenges”, it started. 

The communique further indulged the support of stakeholders towards the new course to develop the region and enhance livelihood under Mr. Gunu’s administration. 

“The coming weeks and months will be crucial in shaping the future of the Volta Region under his guidance, and we encourage all stakeholders to lend support as he embarks on this important chapter of positioning the Volta Region on the national and global map”, it concluded.
