The group were welcomed on
their arrival. As custom demands, the chiefs and elders asked to know our
mission. To this, our spokesperson, Mr. Ben Tseklu informed them of our mission
after the exchange of greetings. He erred his displeasure over the non-involvement
of Tanyigbe-Kpodzi in the activities leading to the final funeral rites of the paramount
chief. He then stated the importance of Tanyigbe-Kpodzi
to be the overall development of Tanyigbe.
To this, he outlined certain vital services Kpodzi renders to Tanyigbe
including health care delivery, housing the highest educational institution
thus TASHS etc. To this effect, he described Kpodzi as a recognised part of
Tanyigbe and should therefore not be left out.
Further, Mr. Ben Tseklu
reiterated the significant roles Togbega Kwasi Adiko V played in the
establishment of TASHS. He also advised
that, the wish of the late chief was that, all the projects started in the
school should be completed through the efforts of the entire community. He further called for unity among the people
of Tanyigbe to ensure the achievements of their set goals, for “A united
minority is better than divided majority”.
He informed the chiefs and elders of the decision of the hierarchy of
TASHS to name one of the new buildings after Togbega Kwasi Adiko V as a sign of
gratitude after the buildings are completed.
The chiefs and elders reacted
to our message and assured us that, they have taken cognisance of our
grievances and also promised to address them without delay. With regards to the late chief’s effort in
bringing secondary education to Tanyigbe community, a representative of the
chiefs informed us that, the father of the late chief laid the foundation to
that effect, so all Togbe did was to continue the good work of his father. He also advised that, the hierarchy of the
school should work in unison to ensure that, the prime purpose of Togbe Adiko V
is fulfilled.
After our presentation, the
chiefs and elders in turn presented one (1) crate of Malt to us.
