Residents of Aflao in the Volta Region have expressed their disappointment in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s response to their Paramount Chief, Torgbui Fiti V, over an appeal for the completion of a senior high school in the community.
Speaking in an interview with Kwame Sefa Kayi on Accra-based Peace FM (on Thursday, October 21, 2021), the president made comments to the effect that the Paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area might as well go ahead and complete the E-blocks community school if he is so worried about their current status.
