The Executive Director of the Volta Development Forum, Daniel Agboka-Jegede, thanked Mr. Gunu for his visit and affirmed the forum's willingness to collaborate with any development-focused government.

He emphasized the region's rich natural and human resources, which, if properly utilized, could bring significant wealth to the region and the country as a whole.

Mr. Agboka-Jegede stated that the forum is actively working on a blueprint to position the region as a leading business hub in the country in the long term. He highlighted plans for vigorous cross-border trade in towns like Dzodze and Aflao, which would benefit the national economy.
