Traditional leaders and the youth of Gomoa Nyanyano in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region are appealing to the government and well-meaning citizens to urgently provide the community with improved roads, potable water, schools, and job opportunities as they continue to struggle with basic social amenities.

Gomoa Nyanyano, a predominantly fishing community with an estimated population of over 2,000 residents, has for years been deprived of essential development projects. The community faces poor road networks, inadequate access to clean drinking water, limited educational facilities, and a lack of employment avenues for the youth.

Addressing the media during a press conference, the Chief of Gomoa Nyanyano, Nana Kwesi Annan Wiabo VII, called on government authorities, development partners, and wealthy indigenes of Nyanyano to support the community with the needed infrastructure.

He emphasised that access to potable water, motorable roads, and job creation must be prioritised to improve the living conditions of residents.

The Chief noted that despite the community’s potential and vibrant youth population, progress has been slow due to the absence of basic amenities that could attract investors and enhance economic activities.

Supporting the call, the Stool Secretary, Kenneth Kwame Nkumsah, appealed for unity among residents, stressing that communal harmony is crucial for driving development and fostering partnerships that can help transform Gomoa Nyanyano.

Meanwhile, the youth of the community also joined the call for urgent intervention. They urged the government to channel development projects into the area and create sustainable job opportunities for the unemployed young people, especially now that Gomoa Nyanyano has a legitimate chief to spearhead development initiatives.

The community hopes that authorities will heed their plea and take swift action to address the longstanding developmental challenges hindering their growth.
