Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 84636, member: 27"] Local chiefs are hyped about plans to bump their municipality up to a major metropolis. Traditional authorities from five areas in the Hohoe Municipality thanked President John Dramani Mahama for pushing to elevate Hohoe's status. They see the move as fulfilling a political pledge that could speed up development in the Volta Region. The chiefs argued metropolitan status would boost Hohoe's role as a commercial and transit hub. They called for fast-tracking the process to unlock new investment and improve services. Critical needs for supporting the change include better roads and hospital upgrades. Specific projects mentioned were developing the Hohoe UHAS campus and fixing the Eastern Corridor Road. The traditional leaders pledged continued peace and cooperation with the government. They expressed confidence that the elevated status would drive inclusive growth for the area. [/QUOTE]
