Chief Of KojoBoni Calls For Unity And Development At 2025 Kojogyie Festival
The Chief of KojoBoni, Nana Obuideing II, has urged residents of the farming community in the Kpandai District of the Northern Region to remain united and work collectively toward sustainable development.
He made the call during the celebration of the 2025 Kojogyie Festival, held under the theme “Unity for Sustainable Development.”
The festival drew indigenes, visitors, and well-wishers from far and near to celebrate the culture and heritage of the people of KojoBoni.
Nana Obuideing II emphasized that peace, unity, and collaboration are essential for progress.
He cautioned against disunity and urged farmers to resolve land disputes peacefully to safeguard harmony in the community.
“We cannot achieve the development we desire if we are not united. As we prepare for the new farming season, I urge all farmers to adopt peaceful ways of resolving disputes.
When we unite as youth, elders, and stakeholders, our community will thrive,” he said.
Appeal to Government
The chief also highlighted challenges facing KojoBoni, including poor roads, inadequate healthcare facilities, and limited educational infrastructure.
He appealed for urgent rehabilitation of the Kumdi–KojoBoni–Chamba and Tenglento–KojoBoni roads, stressing that the poor road network hinders the transportation of foodstuffs and affects farmers’ incomes.
On education, he noted that KojoBoni D/A Primary and JHS—one of the largest schools in the Kpandai District—lacks adequate classrooms and facilities.
He called on the District Chief Executive (DCE) and the Member of Parliament (MP) to prioritize infrastructure expansion.
He further raised concerns about healthcare delivery, pointing out that the KojoBoni CHPS Compound, the only health facility serving two electoral areas, faces serious logistical and accommodation challenges.
He appealed for government support to improve health service delivery.
Festival Celebration
The colourful Kojogyie Festival featured traditional rites, drumming, dancing, and cultural displays, while also serving as a platform for dialogue on community development.
Chairman of the durbar, Mr. Chuntor Yaw Victor, urged residents to use the festival as a symbol of peace, tolerance, and coexistence.
Participants commended the chief and elders for their leadership and pledged to support ongoing efforts to improve living standards in KojoBoni.
End.
