Torgbiga Adamah urges Some Citizens to Unite for Development

Paramount Chief of Some traditional area, Torgbiga Adamah III, has called on all citizens of the area to unite and to pull resources together for the development of the area.

According to him, government alone cannot fix all the problems in the society hence there was the need for citizens and all well-meaning individuals to come together to initiate self-help projects for the socio-economic transformation of our societies.

Torgbiga Adamah III was speaking at a colourful durbar to climax activities that marked a week long home-coming summit at Agbozume – the traditional capital of Some in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta region on Saturday December 24.

The summit was to bring all Some indigenes and well wishers back home to brainstorm and to figure out the way forward for the development of the traditional area.

Some of the activities that marked the home-coming event included, youth forums, seminars for chiefs and queens, inter-schools sports competitions, Peace and health walks, health screening, among others.

Torgbiga Adamah III said it had always been his hope to see a developed and prosperous Some hence he was leaving no stone unturned in harnessing all of the potentials and resources both human and material available in the area for the betterment of the lot of the people of the area.

The traditional ruler appealed to all citizens of Some both home and abroad to contribute their quota towards the realisation of the development agenda for the area.

He observed that the only problem retarding the forward march of the area was unnecessary squabbles and rancour that has “disintegrated our front” and called for unity, togetherness and fellow-feeling among everyone, adding that, that was the surest way to change the status quo and bring rapid transformation to the traditional area.

The Some paramount chief also advised the youth of the area to shy away from vices and unruly behavior patterns which had the potential of destroying their future and to hold fast to what is good and acceptable in society as they are the leaders of tomorrow.

Torgbiga Adamah III also announced the establishment of the Some Education Fund (SEF) and a scholarship scheme to support brilliant students from the area to acesss tertiary education and “to come back home after their studies to contribute meaningfully to the development of Some”.

The home-coming summit brought together hundreds of Some indigenes and well wishers from far and near.
