Government will today, Friday inaugurate the Guan District Assembly.

The Guan District comprises areas such as Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe, and Lolobi (SALL) and will be inaugurated by the Local Government, Decentralization and Rural Development Ministry.

Assembly members in the SALL enclave of the Oti region are expecting the new district to bring tremendous attention and developmental projects from the government.

Philip Kweku Adom, the Assemblyman for Santrokofi Gbordome, praised residents in the district for their comportment during the days without a district assembly.

“Kudos to them for all the patience they have exercised all this while and the maximum tolerance,” he said.

He also expressed hope that development would not be centralized in Likpe following its choice as the district capital.

“The fact that the district capital is Likpe doesn’t mean everything should be centered there. That, for me, is a major concern.”

The Guan District in the Oti Region was created following a Legislative Instrument laid in Parliament by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development in 2019.
