The celebration, according to a news release issued by the chiefs, will include business exhibitions, durbar, sports tournaments, awards ceremony, and dinner & dance event.
“Western Northians are forever grateful to H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President of the Republic of Ghana for fulfilling this long held dream for us,” the release pointed out.
It added that “we invite all children of Western North to join in the celebration of ASEDAK3SE3 and make this 2019 christmas a special one.”
On December 27th, 2018, it would be recalled, the people of Western North voted massively in the referendum for the creation of a new Region.
That resulted in the creation of the Western North Region out of the Western Region in February 2019.
