From abandoned ruins to model residence: How Techiman North DCE fulfilled 9-month promise
When the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Techiman North Adom Kwabena Johnson led journalists through the dilapidated remains of the official DCE residence in early 2025, the sight was grim.
In early 2025, the District Chief Executive (DCE) of Techiman North, Adom Kwabena Johnson, brought journalists to view the deteriorated remains of the former official residence. The building was in a state of disrepair, with broken roofing, overgrown weeds, cracked floor tiles, and a history of abandonment by the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) government when they took over in 2017. Johnson, however, vowed to see the project completed within nine months, a promise that many saw as mere political posturing.
Remarkably, nine months later, the promise has been kept and surpassed. The once-abandoned structure now gleams as a fully functional residence, complete with a roof, tiles, paint, and a paved compound. The project is nearly finished, with the contractor to deliver the keys to the assembly in the coming weeks. This transformation was enough to impress the regional minister, who toured the site alongside Johnson for an inspection. The minister could not help but express his satisfaction at the remarkable change.
