Requests
The chiefs requested for more development projects to advance the area’s progress.
The Paramount Chief of the Dodo Traditional Area, Daasebre Obonie Sebewie, who led the delegation to the Presidency, said apart from the Eastern Corridor road, there were other important roads connecting the 15 towns in the traditional area which were deplorable.
He, therefore, appealed to the President to give immediate attention to those roads as well.
The chief also appealed for a senior high school (SHS) and said they had already set aside 24 acres of land for that purpose.

President Mahama assured the chiefs that the government would continue to give priority to improvement of roads in the area and other parts of the Volta Region.
He said the reconstruction of the Eastern Corridor road would be pursued till its completion.
The President assured them that the Minister of Roads and Highways would expedite action on their request.
