Aboakyer Festival Launched In Winneba, Ghana

The Efutu Aboakyer Board has launched this year’s deer hunting festival in Winneba on the theme: “Peace and Unity - Key for development.”

Launching the week-long festival, the Chairman of the board, Nyimfahen Nana Kofi Takyi IV, said the festivities would be from April 26 to May 6.
He added that the climax of the festival would be on May 5, when a grand durbar of chiefs and dignitaries will be held in Winneba.

He also said, “I pray that the unity cause which we have chartered will be realized so that Winneba will be devoid of troubles, as that scares away prospective investors”.
The Nyimfahen appealed to the government to construct a community centre at Winneba and also appealed for sponsorship of the festival,

“All interested parties, especially those in the hospitality industry, among others, should contact the Efutu Aboakyer Board through the Efutu Municipal Assembly,” he said.

The Winneba District Police Commander in charge of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU), ASP John Paul Akonde, who deputized for DSP Asamoah, the District Commander, spoke of the preparedness of the police to curb lawlessness and ensure a peaceful celebration of the festival.
