This morning, I joined the people of Effutu to celebrate Aboakyer 2026. This year’s celebration also marks the 30th anniversary of Oma Odefe Neenyi Ghartey VII, whose leadership remains an example for many.
The Aboakyer festival is a platform for rediscovering, preserving, and promoting identity. Government is therefore prioritizing investments in access roads, infrastructure, and cultural enterprises to position Effutu as a growing tourism hub capable of attracting visitors, creating jobs, and boosting local economic activity.
To that end, Government is still very committed to key national initiatives, including the Women’s Development Bank, which will expand access to finance for market women, fish processors, and small-scale entrepreneurs, for example. The 24-hour economy policy is being advanced, and preparations are underway for nationwide 24-hour markets. Government is also intensifying its focus on youth development, with programmes such as Adwumawura designed to support young people to transform their ideas into viable businesses. Strategic infrastructure projects, including the Kasoa–Winneba road, remain a priority, given their importance to regional economic transformation.
I commend the people of Effutu for their peace and harmony, which continue to provide a strong foundation for development. As we celebrate, we are reminded that progress is sustained by unity and collaboration. May the Aboakyer festival continue to grow from strength to strength.
