The Central Regional Minister, Justina Marigold Assan, will represent Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia at this year’s Akwanbo Durbar, slated for Saturday, September 9, 2023, at the Atakwaa School Park.
She was nominated by the Vice President, who wished to attend personally, but had other equally pressing agenda for that weekend.
He was invited to a durbar of the chiefs and people of the Nyimfa Division of the Ekumfi Traditional Area.
Just before the durbar, the Regional Minister, on behalf of the Vice President, would commission the K.T. Hammond Community Centre at Ekumfi Ekrawfo.
As part of the Akwanbo Festivities, there will be Ekumfi Awards to honour citizens of Ekumfi who have distinguished themselves in their fields of endeavour.
The awards take place at the K.T. Hammond Community Centre at Ekumfi Ekrawfo on the night of Friday, September 8. Miss Akwanbo will follow on Saturday at the same venue.
On Sunday, September 10, Accra Great Olympics will take on local lads Ekumfi United at Ekrawfo in a challenge match for the Nana Kwatse Cup. Last year, the Olympics beat Ekumfi United 3-2 to win the cup.
