The Chief of Avatime Gbadzeme in the Ho-West District of Volta Region, Okusie Okorforobour Agyeman VII, has reiterated his appeal to the government to treat as a matter of urgency and priority rehabilitation of the road linking the community and Avatime Fume.
The six-kilometer narrow and deplorable road bisecting the two semi-urban communities through the hilly area has never been tarred or undergone any major rehabilitation, compelling citizens of Gbadzeme, to periodically engage in voluntary contributions to patch deteriorating portions of the road.
The appalling nature of the road network poses a risk to many commuters and wards off potential tourists, traders, and commercial transport operators from the community.
Okusie Okorforobour Agyemang, also the Acting Divisional Chief of the Amedzofe and Gbadzeme Division of Avatime Traditional Area (Onepeone) was speaking during the press and traditional launch of the 2024 Avatime Amu Festival.
