The Paramount Chief expressed gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama and his government for giving them their share of the national cake.
He said they had a singular request which is very dear to their hearts and wish it will be implemented for them and that “Agonaman needs a third district to be known as Agona Central with it capital at Nyarkrom to help speed up development in the area”.
Okofo Okatakyi X said Agonaman had three urban councils namely Swedru, Nyarkrom and Nsaba adding that Swedru and Nsaba have been alleviated to Municipal and a District status while that of Nyarkrom is still an urban council.
The Paramount Chief said the traditional council has already set aside a vast land at Nyarkrom for construction offices and residential buildings for the establishment of the District Assembly.
