The Eastern Region is gearing up to host the second edition of the 2024 Regional Townhall Meetings and Exhibitions tomorrow, September 3, 2024.
The event will be held at the Centre for National Culture in Koforidua, and will provide a significant platform to highlight the government’s achievements under the leadership of President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Organised by the Ministry of Information, the townhall meetings aim to foster greater citizen engagement, and promote inclusive governance. The initiative, which began in the Greater Accra Region on August 6, 2024, has already facilitated valuable interactions between government officials and the public.
The first event saw Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Titus Glover, Finance Minister, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, and Information Minister Fatimatu Abubakar, present key updates on developmental projects and government initiatives, including economic stabilization efforts and infrastructure improvements in the region.

The upcoming townhall meeting in Koforidua will continue this tradition of engagement, offering residents an opportunity to interact directly with a range of government officials. The event will feature the Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Kwame Acheampong, Deputy Minister of Finance, Dr. Alex Ampaabeng, Presidential Advisor on Health Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare, and other notable stakeholders.
Attendees will be able to pose questions on pressing issues such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure, and explore various ongoing projects on display. It is part of a comprehensive nationwide series that will cover all 16 regions. The series will culminate in a national forum where feedback and recommendations gathered from each region will be consolidated and presented to the government for consideration and implementation.
The Ministry of Information has emphasised the importance of these townhall meetings in bridging the gap between government and citizens. By bringing governance closer to the people, the initiative seeks to ensure that government actions are aligned with the needs and expectations of citizens across Ghana.
