Tepa (Ashanti Region) - Akwasi Adu-Poku, Ahafo-Ano North District Chief Executive, has inaugurated six area Councils in the District at separate functions.

They were at Tepa, Anyinasuso, Suponso, Akwasiase, Mamfo and Betiako. Speaking at the inauguration Mr Adu-Poku appealed to the Council Members to perform their duties in consultation with chiefs and other stakeholders to bring harmony for accelerated development.

''Live up to your responsibilities of organising communal labour, environmental cleanliness, implementation and monitoring of self-help projects.''

Nana Eric Agyeman Prempeh, Presiding Member of the Assembly, appealed to the Council Members to work hard to improve the living standard of the people and also to educate them on the need to honour their tax obligations.

He commended the government and the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for donating furniture to schools in the District and said that had engendered effective teaching and learning in the area.
