The President of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs Togbe Tepre Hodo, said the house now has a total of 100 members, making it one of the largest in the country. He called for all hands on deck to partner with government to develop the region.
“I only hope and pray that we all cooperate, contribute, and grow the Regional House of Chiefs and by extension, the whole nation, the Volta region, and the country at large,” he said.
The new members took turns sharing their joyous occasion and assured the house of their commitments to helping develop the region and, by extension, the country.
