Delivering a highly inspiring keynote address, the CEO of SIF revealed that the ultra-modern facility is expected to be completed within 18 months and equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and training tools to ensure quality practical education for students and trainees. According to him, the centre will prepare the youth for modern industrial opportunities and equip them with employable skills to compete in today’s rapidly evolving world.

According to him, the initiative represents hope, opportunity, innovation and the birth of a skilled generation capable of driving the future development of Atwima Mponua and Ghana as a whole.

The visit provided the team with a first-hand view of the smooth and orderly conduct of the examinations, thanks to the commitment and professionalism of supervisors, invigilators, and all stakeholders involved.

FROM PROMISE TO ACTION: HON. SETH OSEI AKOTO BREAKS GROUND FOR POLICE STATIONS AT KOTOKUOM AND BAYEREBON No.5.

In a bold move to strengthen security and restore public confidence, Hon. Seth Osei Akoto, Member of Parliament for Atwima Mponua Constituency, has officially cut sod for the construction of two modern police stations in Kotokuom and Bayerebon No.5 on 31st March and 1st April 2026 respectively. The projects, which fulfill a key campaign promise made during his 2024 tour, are expected to significantly enhance security presence across the district’s over 500 communities and serve as a strong deterrent to crime.

Addressing enthusiastic residents, Hon. Akoto underscored the urgent need for expanded security infrastructure in the area, stressing that safety remains a critical foundation for development. He charged contractors to prioritize local labour to stimulate economic growth within the communities, while urging chiefs and opinion leaders to take ownership of the projects and ensure accountability in their ex*****on.

The MP also used the platform to voice deep concern over the declining fortunes of cocoa farmers, describing the current drop in produce as unprecedented in Ghana’s 87-year cocoa history. He revealed that the Minority in Parliament is actively engaging government to restore favourable cocoa prices to sustain farmers’ livelihoods. In a firm caution, the member of Parliament advised farmers against selling their lands to illegal miners, warning that such practices continue to undermine Ghana’s global cocoa standing.

The gesture has been widely welcomed by traditional leaders and residents, who expressed gratitude to Hon. Akoto for delivering on his promises and taking concrete steps to address pressing security challenges.

For many, the sod-cutting ceremony signals not just the start of construction—but the beginning of safer, more secure communities in Atwima Mponua.

A NEW DAWN FOR GIRLS’ EDUCATION; HON. IBRAHIM ISSAHAK CUT-SOD FOR NYINAHIN CATHOLIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

On 1st April 2026, a powerful step was taken toward transforming the future of education in Atwima Mponua, as Hon. Issahak Ibrahim officially cut the sod for the construction of a modern one-storey girls’ dormitory at Nyinahin Catholic Senior High School.

This milestone project is more than bricks and mortar, it is a bold statement of commitment to opportunity, dignity, and equal access to education for young girls in the district.

In an emotional address, the District Chief Executive expressed profound gratitude to H.E. John Dramani Mahama for making this life-changing intervention possible through GETFund. He emphasized that the new facility will significantly ease the burden on students who travel long distances daily, while also encouraging higher female enrolment and retention.

“This is not just the beginning of a building,” Hon. Issahak Ibrahim declared. “It is the beginning of renewed hope, hope for safer accommodation, improved learning conditions, and a future where every girl can pursue her education without barriers.”

The project stands as a symbol of a broader vision, one where no child’s dream is cut short because of inadequate infrastructure. It reflects a deep understanding that investing in girls’ education is investing in stronger families, communities, and a more prosperous nation.

Reaffirming his commitment, the DCE assured all stakeholders that his office will work closely with contractors to ensure the project is completed on time and to the highest standard.

“Together, we will deliver not just a facility, but a legacy, one that will uplift generations and redefine possibilities for our young women,” he added.

The ceremony drew a diverse and supportive gathering, including the headmaster, Mr. Samuel Twumasi Ankra, officials from GETFund, contractors, traditional and opinion leaders, party faithfuls, members of the media, and enthusiastic students, each united by a shared belief in the transformative power of education.

ATWIMA MPONUA INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION TURNED TEACHERS INTO HEROES.

The 69th celebration of Ghana Independence Day in the Atwima Mponua District took on an extraordinary atmosphere on March 6, 2026, as school children dazzled the crowd with colorful parades and patriotic displays that left spectators in awe.

The grand event brought together a distinguished gathering of security personnel, traditional authorities, political party representatives, clergy, educationists, students and respected opinion leaders from across the district. Their presence reflected the unity and pride that define the annual national celebration.

Delivering the presidential address on behalf of the government, District Chief Executive Issahak Ibrahim emphasized the importance of unity in diversity as a key driver for the growth of the Ghanaian economy. He noted that despite Ghana’s many ethnic backgrounds, national progress depends on cooperation and collective effort.

Hon. Issahak Ibrahim also highlighted several social intervention programs introduced by the government since assuming office in 2025 under the leadership of the National Democratic Congress administration. Among them are the “No Stress Policy,” which pays fees for first-year university students, the nationwide distribution of sanitary pads to female pupils in basic schools, and free tertiary education for persons living with disabilities.

He further mentioned youth empowerment initiatives such as Adwumawura and Nkoko Nketinketi, programs aimed at boosting employment and supporting small-scale poultry farming.

At the district level, the DCE revealed several ongoing infrastructure projects in the education sector. These include the construction of a Kindergarten block with ancillary facilities in Akotaa, a six-unit classroom block in Agogoso, and the distribution of over 1,000 dual desks to schools across the district to improve learning conditions.

However, the highlight of the celebration came with a groundbreaking awards ceremony dedicated to recognizing teachers who have shown exceptional dedication to education in Atwima Mponua.

Fourteen outstanding teachers were honored through the support of the ISMAT Foundation, an initiative facilitated by Hon. Issahak Ibrahim. The awards covered several categories including Long Serving Teachers, Most Promising Teacher, Outstanding Teachers, Best Teacher in Administration, and Teachers Serving in Hard-to-Reach Communities.

The deserving educators walked away with impressive rewards including refrigerators, television sets, gas cookers with stoves, cash prizes, and citations in recognition of their tireless service.

The moment sparked thunderous applause and spontaneous chants of the DCE’s name from the enthusiastic crowd, who praised the initiative as a thoughtful way of appreciating the hard work of teachers.

To further inspire academic excellence, two outstanding students who excelled in the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) were also awarded cash prizes for their remarkable performance.

As the celebration came to a close, one thing was clear: in Atwima Mponua, this year’s Independence Day was not just about parades and speeches—it was about honoring dedication, rewarding excellence, and inspiring the next generation of leaders.

SHOPS CLOSED, MUSIC BLAZING, STREETS SPARKLING: HON. ISSAHAK LEADS MASSIVE CLEAN-UP EXERCISE IN NYINAHIN

On Friday, 27th February 2026, the District Chief Executive for Atwima Mponua District, Hon. Issahak, rolled up his sleeves and stepped onto the streets of Nyinahin with a powerful message — cleanliness is everyone’s responsibility.

What unfolded was nothing short of extraordinary. From the Forestry Junction stretching through to Kyeraaso Nkwanta, the town witnessed an overwhelming show of unity as community members, indigenes, political party representatives, public servants, and well-wishers joined forces for a massive clean-up exercise. Shops were temporarily closed as residents prioritized the national call to action, turning the usually busy streets into a hub of purposeful activity.

Armed with brooms, shovels, and wheelbarrows, participants cleared choked gutters, swept the streets, and restored sanitation to key parts of the township. The energy was electric — and not just from the hard work. Mega sound systems followed the crowd, blasting lively tunes that transformed the exercise into a spirited community celebration. It was service blended with entertainment, responsibility mixed with rhythm.

Addressing participants during the exercise, Hon. Issahak emphasized his vision for a healthier district. He passionately called on residents to take sanitation seriously, warning against indiscriminate dumping of refuse and the dangerous practice of building on drainage paths — a major cause of flooding and environmental hazards.

“I wish for healthy living for everybody,” he stressed, urging citizens to see cleanliness not as a one-day event but as a continuous commitment, DCE noted.

The exercise ended with visible results: cleaner streets, desilted gutters, and a renewed sense of communal pride.

HOPE RISES IN ATWIMA MPONUA DISTRICT;COMMISSIONING OF SCHOOL AND HEALTH FACILITIES AND JOBS SPARK JUBILATION IN KOTOKUOM AND ANWIAFUTU.

Joy swept through the communities of Kotokuom and Anwiafutu on February 24, 2026, as residents gathered in large numbers to witness a transformational moment, one that many described as a turning point in their development journey.

Leading the charge was Hon. Issahak Ibrahim, District Chief Executive, who together with his Coordinating Director Mr. Samuel Kwasi Gyan and their entourage commissioned a newly constructed Kindergarten (KG) block at Kotokuom and officially handed over health staff quarters at Anwiafutu. For communities that have long battled infrastructure deficits, the occasion was more than ceremonial; it was also historic.

With a firm focus on infrastructure as a catalyst for progress, Hon. Issahak commended his predecessor Hon. Isaac Kofi Marfo for initiating the turnkey projects, emphasizing that continuity in leadership is key to sustainable development using the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF). He urged residents to safeguard the facilities through proper maintenance and discipline to ensure lasting benefits for future generations.

Beyond brick and mortar, the DCE outlined broader government interventions aimed at economic empowerment. He spoke passionately about job creation initiatives, expanded opportunities for youth, and targeted incentives for cocoa farmers under the administration of the National Democratic Congress government. He encouraged citizens to position themselves strategically to benefit from the array of social and economic programs available.

In Kotokuom, the overlord Nana Osei Kofi expressed heartfelt gratitude to the government and to President John Dramani Mahama for the swift refurbishment of the Kotokuom bridge, once described by residents as a “death trap.” The renewed structure has restored confidence and improved safety for commuters and traders alike. However, he appealed to the DCE to ensure the completion and tarring of remaining road networks to further unlock the area’s economic potential.

At Anwiafutu, the chief, Nana Adade Agyei lauded the commissioning of the health staff quarters, describing it as a major relief to the community’s struggling health sector. With accommodation now available for health workers, residents anticipate improved healthcare delivery. He also called for the tarring of their road, which serves as a vital economic link to the main highway and facilitates the transport of farm produce to market.

The day’s impact extended beyond infrastructure. Upon returning to the district office, Hon. Issahak distributed 20 sewing machines, four industrial sewing machines, and two hairdryers to twenty apprentices and six master craftspersons. The gesture forms part of a deliberate government effort to empower young people through skills development under the National Apprenticeship Programme (NAP).

According to the DCE, the support package includes a monthly stipend and additional incentives designed to give trainees the financial stability needed to master their trades. He passionately appealed to the youth to seize such life-changing opportunities, stressing that skills acquisition remains a powerful pathway to financial independence.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, beneficiaries praised the government for delivering on its promises, describing the intervention as practical proof of leadership in action.

“NO PARENT SHOULD WALK MILES FOR HEALTHCARE AGAIN”; HISTORIC SOD CUTTING SPARKS HOPE IN ATWIMA MPONUA

It was more than just a ceremony on Monday, 16th February 2026. It was a promise fulfilled. A promise of hope. A promise of dignity. A promise of development for the people of Atwima Mponua.

The morning air in Wansabire was filled with anticipation as the District Chief Executive for the Atwima Mponua District, Hon. Ibrahim Issahak, alongside the District Coordinating Director, Mr. Samuel Kwan Gyan, staff of the Assembly and party faithful, gathered to set into motion a transformational project that will change lives for generations.

With a symbolic cut of the sod, construction officially began on a new CHPS compound funded through the 2025 District Assembly Common Fund. But this was not just about bricks and mortar. It was about bringing healthcare closer to the people — to mothers, fathers, children, and the elderly in nearly 30 surrounding communities.

In an emotional address, Hon. Issahak declared, “No mother should have to travel miles for basic health care. No child should be denied urgent attention because of distance.” His words echoed through the crowd, resonating deeply with families who have long struggled with accessibility to medical services.

For many residents, the project represents relief — relief from dangerous late-night journeys in search of care, relief from preventable complications, relief from the fear that distance could cost a life.

From Wansabire, the team moved to Agogoso, where another life-changing initiative awaited. Amid cheers and visible excitement, sod was cut for the construction of a six-unit classroom block at the Agogoso D/A Basic School — one of the most populated schools in the district.

For years, overcrowded classrooms have challenged both teachers and pupils. Children squeezed into limited space, striving to learn despite the odds. This new facility promises more than just classrooms; it promises comfort, focus, and the dignity every child deserves while pursuing education.

The chiefs and people of both communities could not hide their joy. Their smiles, applause, and heartfelt gratitude spoke volumes. It was a powerful reminder that leadership is ultimately about service — about touching lives in meaningful, lasting ways.

HON ISSAHAK CUTS SOD KG BLOCK AND CHPS COMPUND IN ATWIMA MPONUA TOUR.

The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atwima Mponua, Hon. Issahak Ibrahim, together with selected administrative staff and party officials, has commenced a community familiarization tour across the district aimed at strengthening engagement with residents and addressing pressing developmental challenges.

The tour seeks to bring governance closer to the people by identifying community needs, resolving existing problems, and initiating projects to improve the living conditions of constituents.

On Wednesday, 4th February, Hon. Issahak Ibrahim and his team visited Kensakrom, Atwima Takoradi, Akotaa, and Barniekrom, where they interacted with traditional authorities and community members on key development issues and livelihood opportunities. At Akotaa, the DCE cut sod for the construction of an ultra-modern Kindergarten school block, a project expected to enhance early childhood education in the area.

During the visit, Hon. Issahak tasked the District Engineer to, as a matter of urgency, initiate steps to repair all faulty boreholes in the communities to restore reliable access to potable water. He also assured residents of plans to expand electricity coverage to match the growing size of the communities.

The tour continued on Friday, 6th February, with visits to Bedabour, Kwame Dwaa, and Mpasatia. Hon. Issahak commended farmers for their hard work and reaffirmed government’s commitment to improving the agricultural sector through initiatives such as the distribution of free fertilizers and the flagship nkokɔ-nkitinkiti programme. He disclosed that the programme has already begun, with the distribution of six thousand seven hundred (6,700) birds to selected farmers within the district.

At Mpasatia, excitement filled the community as Hon. Issahak cut sod for the construction of a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound. He pledged to intensify efforts to alleviate hardship in the district and urged residents to actively support the fight against illegal mining (galamsey), which continues to threaten the natural environment.

The District Information Officer, Mr. Kwame Sarfo, also used the occasion to educate residents on the Gun Amnesty Programme, which offers citizens the opportunity to voluntarily surrender their fi****ms to the authorities at no cost.

The familiarization tour forms part of the DCE’s broader strategy to promote inclusive development and responsive governance in Atwima Mponua District.

ATWIMA MPONUA ASSEMBLY TAKES BOLD ACTION AGAINST LOTTO RIDERS’ ACCIDENTS

In a district where the scream of sirens and the sight of twisted motorbikes have sadly become almost routine, the Atwima Mponua District Assembly has finally drawn a line in the sand.

On Tuesday, 28th January 2026, the Assembly under the leadership of Hon Issahak Ibrahim held a crucial engagement with lottery agents and their collectors, many of whom criss-cross the district daily on motorbikes in pursuit of their livelihood—often at great risk to their lives and the lives of others.

The mission was clear and urgent: stop the weekly accidents before more lives are lost.

During the meeting, agents and riders were educated on the safe handling of motorbikes, responsible riding practices, and the growing concern over road traffic accidents linked to lotto operations. The Assembly also used the opportunity to sensitise operators on the importance of paying their operational fees, stressing that these funds directly support development projects across the district.

In a decisive move, Hon Issahak resolved to bring in the big guns—the DVLA, MTTU, and relevant insurance companies—to intensify education on road traffic regulations, road safety, licensing, and insurance requirements. The goal is simple but powerful: safer roads, law-abiding operators, and responsible lotto business practices.

This bold intervention is a conscious and strategic effort to drastically reduce the incessant accidents that occur almost every week, many of them involving lotto agents carrying out their routine duties.
