Residents of Ehi, young and old, participated in a massive float to promote the 10th Nutome Gali Za celebration. The event, which took place on Thursday, drew thousands of people from Ehi and neighboring communities, including those living outside the area who returned home to join in the anniversary celebration. The procession began at Ehi and passed through several towns, including Weta, Weta Junction, Agbozume, Tokor, Penyi, and Dzodze, before returning to Ehi. The participants were accompanied by music and brass bands, creating a lively atmosphere.
According to Mr. Byron Kwakutse Kpeli, a member of the Central Planning Committee, the float was notable for its large turnout, differing from previous editions. He stated that the 10th anniversary celebration aimed to draw attention to Ehi's development needs, particularly infrastructure and road development. The poor road networks linking Ehi to major towns and markets have become a significant concern for residents and farmers, affecting the movement of farm produce.
Mr. Kpeli highlighted that the roads connecting Ehi to communities such as Agbozume, Weta, and Dzodze, as well as other local roads, were in poor condition and required urgent attention.

Improving the road network would be a priority of the 10th anniversary celebration, with the expectation that relevant authorities would support efforts to address these challenges.
