The chiefs used the opportunity to discuss matters of mutual interest, particularly development and energy-related concerns affecting the Oti Region.

Nana Soglo Alloh IV expressed appreciation to the NPA CEO for his consistent support to the region, both before and after assuming office.

“We are grateful for the assistance and concern you have shown to the Oti Region even before your appointment as CEO of the NPA, and we are confident that this support will continue,” he said.

He added that the House of Chiefs was ready to collaborate with the Authority to promote development and stability in the region.
