Goaso Queen Mother appeals to government for improved infrastructure

The Queen Mother of Goaso, Nana Afia Serwaa, has called on the government to address the slow progress of development in the regional capital. She expressed worry over the insufficient infrastructure, especially in road systems, healthcare, and water supply, despite Goaso being the capital of the Ahafo Region. During a church service to mark her fifth year as Queen Mother, she made this appeal to a gathering of traditional leaders, clergy, politicians, security personnel, and residents.

In an interview with Adom News, Nana Afia Serwaa stated that Goaso has not received the level of development she expected from a regional capital, leaving residents with various infrastructure challenges. She mentioned raising these concerns with President John Dramani Mahama during his recent accountability visit to the region.

Nana Afia Serwaa remains hopeful that the President will address her worries and take steps to enhance living conditions in the municipality. The Head Pastor of the Church of Pentecost, Goaso Central, praised the Queen Mother for her consistent advocacy for development over the past five years but emphasized that the responsibility of pushing for development should not solely rest on her shoulders.

He urged residents and other stakeholders to work together with Nana Afia Serwaa and engage the government to acquire the necessary infrastructure and services to bring Goaso up to the standards of a regional capital.
