"The chiefs and people of Avenor State, since the dawn of generation, have enjoyed sovereignty as a distinct ethnic group in the Southern part of the Volta Region and never in the long and checkered history of the Avenor State have we been a subjugated people.
“We are a proud and hard-working people whose exploits have been a source of awe and envy to our neighbours with whom we peacefully co-exist,” he said.
Togbui Dorglo Anuma VI further called on the youth to remain committed to the growth of Avenor and work hard to open up the place for investments.
The Akatsi South District Chief Executive, Mr Leo Nelson Adzidogah, said the festival would bring accelerated development to the area.
