In concluding his speech, Hon. Francis Asenso-Boakye stated that before joining the commissioning gathering, he paid a courtesy visit to the Konor of Yilo Krobo Traditional Area, Oklepeme Nuer Anorbaa Sasraku II, at his palace in Sra, where they discussed several development issues, including drainage problems, road lapses, and mostly the infrastructure lapses that are affecting teaching and learning at Yikrosec in the Municipal Capital. He assured the gathering of chiefs, queen mothers, and the general public that he would take all these important issues to the higher offices for appropriate redress.
Hon. Jeff Konadu Addo, Eastern Regional Chairman of the NPP, who led the delegation of regional executives and other dignitaries from the Eastern Region to the commissioning program, applauded his 1st Vice Chairman for showing this great commitment to lead his people by providing and serving them at all times.

Twum of more support in his committed quest to serve his people, country, and God almighty.
