The North Dayi District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Edmond Kudjoh Attah has personally supported sports in the area, and asked the youth, to develop interest in sports and promised to help them to unearth their talents through the game, which would help the District to produce quality players to join the national football team in future.
He said the involvement of the youth in sports, would not only help them to develop their talents but would also promote peace and unity in the area, and said peace and unity were prerequisite for development, and urged stakeholders to support the development activities of the Assembly to bring more development to the people.
Addressing the North Dayi District Football team during their final training at Anfoega, to compete in the Volta region District competition underway at Anloga, Mr Attah said sports had proven over the years to promote high level of discipline among the youth, and appealed to the team to remain discipline to enable them to achieve success.
Mr Attah who personally supported the Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High Schools sports activities in the District, stressed that his commitment to promote sporting activities would not be limited to the District Sports Team (DSPT) but he would continue to ensure a vibrant youth, peaceful and united District through sports.
The DCE believed that it was only when the youth were fully committed to sports, they would become highly discipline, and they would meaningfully be engaged and all forms of vices in the District would be reduced, adding that regular sporting activities would help improve on academic performance of pupils and students.
Mr Attah said he decided to personally sponsored the camping of girls and boys under 15 level, who formed the District Team, donated 40 pieces of running vests, sanitary pads, toiletries and assorted items to the District Sports and athletics Team.
According to the DCE, he also took interest in the Anfoega and Vakpo Senior High Schools (SHS) inter- houses sports and promised to provide customised jerseys and footballs for the inter-schools competition to be held at Kpando next week and called on teams from both schools to be discipline to enable them to emerge victorious.
He said the vision and mission of the Assembly was to promote a vibrant youth and skills development among the youth would help facilitate rapid development of the area, and called on the youth to take advantage of available opportunities to prepare themselves for the future.
The Headmaster of Anfoega SHS, Mr Albert Kwasi Dodo commended the DCE for the interest demonstrated in sporting activities at basic and second cycle institutions in the District, saying Mr Attah had shown quality leadership over the years, which would remain historic in the administration of the District.
Mr Dodo said the management of the school was appreciative of the level of support from the Assembly and called on NGOs, individuals and organisations to help provide the Anfoega and Vakpo SHS with an ASTRO Turf to complement the efforts of the DCE.

Egypt will host Africa’s new flagship business summit this October, as leaders from across the continent converge in the newly built smart city of New Alamein for the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum.
The forum is scheduled for October 2-4, 2026 in New Alamein, Egypt’s fourth-generation coastal megacity.
The city combines advanced infrastructure, modern residential districts, international universities, cultural landmarks, and major tourism and investment projects under one master plan.
Dubbed “the continent’s premier gathering where political power meets entrepreneurial prowess,” the forum is expected to bring together over 20 African Heads of State and Government, senior leaders from leading international and regional financial institutions, and key players driving transformation across Africa’s most critical sectors.
Co-organised by the Government of Egypt, African Export-Import Bank, and AUDA-NEPAD, the Alamein Africa Forum is designed as a permanent biennial platform to advance strategic partnerships and unlock investment across Africa and global markets.[Afreximbank]
The agenda will focus on sectors defining Africa’s future: infrastructure, energy, digital transformation, manufacturing, critical minerals, health markets, and intra-African trade*.
The programme will feature high-level plenary sessions, sector-focused panels, closed-door roundtables, and structured B2B and B2G meetings aimed at facilitating concrete deals and long-term partnerships.
Special sessions will also highlight Egypt’s role as a regional hub and gateway to African markets.
The inaugural forum will be held in parallel with the 2026 African Union Mid-Year Coordination Meeting and the 33rd Annual Meetings of Afreximbank.
Organizers say the forum will serve as a launchpad to translate the African Union’s 50-year strategic master plan, Agenda 2063, into concrete projects, policies and partnerships that will define Africa’s economic trajectory for the next decade.
“In an era of shifting alliances and rising volatility, Africa can no longer afford to be a bystander in decisions that shape its own economic future,” organizers stated.
The forum aims to place the private-sector agenda at the heart of AU decision-making, lower investment risk, unlock capital, and build cross-border partnerships to strengthen Africa’s resilience to external shocks.
Located on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, New Alamein represents Egypt’s vision for smart, sustainable urban development. Hosting the forum there is expected to showcase the city as both a symbol of African modernization and a hub for investment and innovation.
By bringing public and private sector leadership into one alliance, the Alamein Africa Forum is positioned to become Africa’s go-to space for turning commitments into implementation.

Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has called on stakeholders in the Bono Region to raise the bar on professionalism and patriotism if the region is to unlock its full tourism potential.
Speaking during a familiarisation tour of the region, the Minister met with staff of the Centre for National Culture (CNC) and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCs).
The engagement focused on how to position Bono as a leading cultural and tourism destination in Ghana.
Gomashie challenged public institutions to take a cue from the private sector by improving service delivery and embracing efficiency.
“Our institutions must be intentional about the way we serve the public,” she said, adding that “We need stronger collaboration and public-private partnerships to attract the right investment and build the tourism infrastructure that will make Bono competitive.”
The Minister urged MMDCs to work hand-in-hand with the Ministry and its agencies to identify, develop and promote key tourist attractions in their districts.
She also stressed the importance of preserving cultural heritage while creating an enabling environment for investors in tourism, culture and the creative arts.
The Minister added that “Tourism is not just about beautiful sites. It is about stories, about our heritage, and about the opportunities we create for our people.”
“This work we do today is not for ourselves alone. It is for Ghana and for generations yet unborn,” she noted.
Dzifa Gomashie further called on all stakeholders to build on the foundation inherited from previous leaders and leave behind a stronger, more vibrant sector.
The tour forms part of the Ministry’s efforts to decentralize tourism development and ensure every region benefits from Ghana’s growing creative economy.
