President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commissioned Ketu Divisional Police Headquarters at Tokor in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region.
The commissioning on Monday means that Ketu South Municipality would no longer be under Keta Police Division.
The chiefs and people of the area appealed for a divisional status to help the police in crime fighting as the Ketu South Municipality has the country’s busiest border.
The new building would also house the Municipal Fire Service Headquarters and allied offices to serve as the disaster management department for the municipality.
The commissioning took place when the President visited Ketu South on the first day of his two-day tour of the Volta Region, his first visit to the Region since the carving out of Oti Region.
President Akufo-Addo assured that his government is committed to granting the request for better built roads and other developmental projects for the benefit of the chiefs and people of the municipality.
In the President's team were the Minister for Roads, Amoaku Atta, Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Hajia Alima Mahama ; Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr Alan Kyremanteng; Deputy Minister for Information, Pius Enam Hadzide and Council of State member for Volta Region, Nyonyo Agboada.
