Dr Archibald Yao Letsa, Volta Regional Minister has said the Region would gain from the creation of a new region for the northern part.
He therefore urged chiefs in the Region to support and co-operate with the government in its reorganisation exercise.
“This is purely a development issue…our people in the central and southern parts of the Volta Region have nothing to lose so we must all support the initiative,” Dr Letsa said at a general meeting of the Regional House of Chiefs in Ho.
He expressed government’s commitment to supporting chiefs for the development of their traditional areas and asked them to be “active stakeholders” in the activities of their Municipal and District Assemblies.
Dr Letsa appealed to them to help the Assemblies in the collection of property rates to increase the capacities of their assemblies in undertaking development projects.
He also called for a focus on the Region’s tourism potentials and appealed to players in the private sector to provide receptive facilities at the sites to take advantage of the opportunities.

Before the P/NDC we had 9 regions in Ghana, there was no UE or UW but Upper Region with 27 constituencies but President Rawlings divided it to UW with 11 constituencies and UE 16 constituencies so I don't think Volta with Ketu South and North having over 120, 000 each voters is a small region as compared to the Upper Region which was seperate because of development. It is time for us to dimarcate for good development. No way, the Volta North are crying for development if you don't need it they do so 'LET THEM GO' they need their freedom.
Koliko he is not calling himself president but the good people of Ghana from the Eastern,Central,Western, Ashanti,BA,NORTH, Greater Accra and UW voted overwhelmingly to make him the president of Ghana and he will do whatever the people need. He is going to divide the Volta region as asked and pleaded by the people of the Northern Volta. Koliko do you know even the Mid Volta want to be part of the new to be created Oti region than being part of the Volta region? Think about that.? Those at the Northern Volta are not ewes but Akans and Guans but the mid Voltarians want to join them rather than joining the southern Voltarians of ewes why? Nobody uses the left hand to show direction to his father's village. Think about it.
Look at this sycophantic ffool,out of 110 ministers only 2 are ewes, no ewe has since been appointed to any CEO, director or head of any state institutions by this divisionist eevil dwarf calling himself president
We, the people of Northern Volta, welcomes the upcoming New Region.
Please Dr. you and your friend should not touch our region. I think if new regions are to be created, they should be born out of bigger regions not the tiny ones.
