The Assembly Member for Atobease electoral area in Amansie west district of Ashanti region, Hon.

The residents expressed gratitude to the Nananoom Assembly member and particularly Hon. Appiah Stephen, former Assembly member, for providing a public toilet facility that addresses sanitation issues in their area. This gesture highlights the importance of access to proper sanitation infrastructure in promoting community health and well-being.

Nana Baffour Awuah II, Chief of Manso Moseaso Atobease, urged the community, especially the youth, to refrain from smoking inside the new public toilet facility and instead utilize it to promote sanitation and healthy living. He also encouraged residents to develop a culture of maintenance to ensure the facility’s longevity and continued benefits for the community.
