President Nana Akufo-Addo has vowed to develop the Ekumfi District of the Central Region to honour late President John Evans Atta Mills.<\/p>\n
The President paid a warm tribute to the late President, who was a native of Ekumfi, saying they were Hall mates and friends back at school, just that politics seemed to have separated them.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore we competed we were brothers. We were in university together. We were even in the same hall together as well. We were friends till the day he died. I have to do something to show that the friendship we had was not for nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo gave the promise at a durbar at Ekumfi Essakyir in the Ekumfi District, on his second day of his\u00a0tour in the Central Region.<\/p>\n
He has announced his government will make Ekumfi one of its focal points on the development agenda.<\/p>\n
The Ekumfi Constituency, formerly the Mfantseman East Constituency, for the first time, voted an NPP parliamentary candidate, Ato Cudjoe, as a member of parliament in the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the durbar, the Acting President of the Ekumfi Traditional Area, Nana Idun XI, has pledged his area’s support for the President’s developmental agenda.<\/p>\n
The Chief has noted lands and other natural resources in the area are readily available for any developmental project in the area.<\/p>\n
