The Adidome community in the Central Tongu District has celebrated a historic milestone with the commissioning of its first-ever public library. The inauguration drew high-profile attendees, including the District Chief Executive (DCE), the Director-General of the Ghana Library Authority, traditional leaders, education officials, development partners, and local residents.
For a district that has gone decades without such a facility, the opening of the Adidome Community Library represents a new chapter of promise, educational opportunity, and transformation.
Addressing guests, Togbe Kwasinyi Kakaklolo Agyeman V, Dufia and landlord of Adidome, emphasized that the library is more than just a building. “This library is a gift to our children, students, teachers, workers, and all who seek self-improvement,” he said, quoting Nelson Mandela: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Togbe Agyeman V commended the E.P. Church for donating the building, the Ghana Library Authority for assuming management responsibility, and the District Assembly for providing security, cleaning, and logistical support. He urged the youth to embrace the facility as a hub for research, digital learning, literacy, and personal growth. “May this library stand as a beacon of hope, learning, and opportunity for all who walk through its doors,” he added.
Representing the CH Group Foundation, sponsors of the library’s educational materials, Mr. Rex Addo Kwakye, Operations and Research Lead, reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to expanding educational access in underserved communities. He also paid tribute to Laydrown Agordome, whose vision and relentless efforts initiated the library project, describing him as a shining example of community-driven leadership.
The Ghana Library Authority’s Mr. Israel Yao Dzantor assured the community that the necessary books and learning materials would be supplied in phases. He emphasized the Authority’s commitment to ensuring the library becomes a well-resourced center of knowledge and a vibrant hub for learning throughout the Central Tongu District.
Officials highlighted that libraries are not merely repositories of books but gateways to innovation, growth, and transformation. The Adidome Community Library now stands as a symbol of hope and opportunity for all residents.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
