This historic launch was the first of its kind to happen in the Kpando Municipality. This handbook will be reviewed every three years. 

Copies of the handbook were presented to some schools and the Kpando Community Library. More copies will be printed within three years and distributed among all schools in the municipality. All school pupils were encouraged to read this book, draw inspiration from it and also serve as a guide to lead them to achieve excellence.

AKPINIFIA LEADS MASSIVE CLEANUP EXERCISE IN KPANDO

The Akpinifia, Okpekpewuokpe Dagadu IX, won hearts again when he led a massive cleanup exercise in the entire Akpini State (Kpando) as part of this year’s Easter celebration. The clean-up exercise which took place on Thursday, April 7, 2023, aimed to ensure that the shoulders of major roads, schools, and streets among other public places of the entire Traditional Area are clean and hygienic. The exercise included the cleaning and picking up of polythene bags, weeding, sweeping, gathering, and disposing of refuse. 

The Paramount Chief of the Akpini State, Okpekpewuokpe Dagadu IX with his Council of Elders visited some of the communities to monitor and partake in the clean-up exercise. Speaking at Aloyi, one of the suburbs of Kpando, the Akpinifia indicated that the clean-up exercise would significantly revive the ancient communal spirit of the people of the Akpini State. 

He also advocated much for  the need to keep their surroundings clean and tidy; he further admonished against disposing off rubbish indiscriminately to prevent diseases.

 Okpekpewuokpe further pleaded with the citizens to make a behavioral change to keep the environment clean and prevent communicable diseases. 

His Royal Majesty also seized the opportunity to invite all citizens of the Akpini State, home and abroad to be part of this year’s Easter celebration under the theme “Rebuilding Akpini in Love and Unity.” 

Other activities as part of the celebration are a health walk from the Dagadu’s Palace to Agbenoxoe on Saturday, April 8, 2023.  There would be live band performances in the evenings of April 8 and 9, 2023, spearheaded by the Agbaza Group. Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, climaxes the celebration with massive borborbor performances and intercommunity fun games. Akpinifia promises a handsome reward to the community that will emerge victorious in the various fun games such as cards, adito (oware), draught (dame), thug of peace, sack race, eating competition, lime and spoon, planks, etc. 

Happy Easter To You All
