For an eyeful of history, family lore, and tradition, all roads lead to Vui-Keta in the Volta Region from Saturday, April 16 to Monday, April 18, 2020 for the first ever grand photo exhibition.
The three-day event which opens from 9am and closes at 5pm daily would showcase the works of veteran and iconic photographer, Mr. Frank Kodzovi Tagbor of “Agfa Fotos” fame.
FK Tagbor, as he was popularly known, is a self-taught photographer who started photography as a hobby whilst in elementary school. (Profile on page 7).
The range of photos on display spans the 1950s and 2000s, and include social, political, educational, cultural, religious, individual and family collections among others.
Some photographic equipment from the beginning of FK Tagbor’s work, the 1950s to the 2000s will also be on display for those interested in the development of photography for the past seven decades.
The collections depict FK Tagbor’s photographic coverage of activities like sports, speech and prize-giving days of the secondary schools in the southern Volta, including Ketasco, Ketabusco, Anseco, Spaco and Zico.
Basic schools (Dzelukope RC A and B schools, Dzelukope EP, Vui Zion, Keta RC, Keta EP, Keta Zion and Anlo State schools) and churches like St. Peter Claver RC Parish, Dzelukope, the St. Michael-Pro Cathedral, Keta among others are also featured.
The Hogbetsotso Festival of the Anlo and other traditional events also feature greatly. Political events from the pre- and post Independence era are not left out.
Thus, those with an eye for the technological history of photography can feast their eyes on old equipment that did the trick before today’s technological revolution of selfies from phone cameras.
On show are not only the sights of Keta but the diverse traditional music of the Anlo, the sizzling and mouthwatering cuisine as well as the proverbial friendliness of the people of the area.
In all, the photo exhibition tells the story of southern Volta over half a century through the lens of FK Tagbor.
The exhibition, billed to be an annual event on the Easter calendar of the Keta Municipality, is free but donations towards the establishment of a foundation that will organise the event going forward are welcome.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
