Control your libido – Chief warns unscrupulous men
Togbe Vudze IV, Divisional Chief of Taviefe Deme-Dreme near Ho in the Volta Region has made girl-child education his topmost priority.
But has warned to deal decisively with unscrupulous men who would impregnate underage girls in his area of authority.
He has again given the assurance to commit resources to girl-child education and said he would, therefore, not stand aloof for men who could not control their sex drive or libido to spoil the future of these school girls.
“For us to make progress as a people, we must all be law-abiding. That means we will always uphold the peace and unity among us as well as our neighbours for development to take place smoothly and rapidly” he said.
The Kasoa-based entrepreneur, known in private life as Harrison Kofi Agbefordo, in his maiden encounter with journalists in the New Year, said that health and sanitation issues, as well as education would be among his priorities.
The New Year celebration at Taviefe Deme-Sreme, which took a carnival note coincided with the coronation of Togbe Vudze IV.
The divisional chief, who is 52 years and father of 12, gave an assurance that land would be made readily available to all investors who were interested in establishing businesses at Taviefe Deme-Sreme.
According to him, the traditional authorities would definitely support investors in various ways to ensure the success of their industries in the area.
He vowed to work hand-in-hand with the security agencies to ensure that law and order prevailed in the area always.
Togbe Vudze entreated all and sundry in the town to get vaccinated against COVID-19, “because we all need to be healthy to achieve our development goals.”

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.
