The Paramount Chief of Wuti and Miafiaga of Anlo, Torgbui Nyaho Tamakloe has urged residents of Anlo to see volunteerism as a great opportunity for greater heights in the field of work.

He however commended the people, especially the youth of the area for their selfless roles in making the Anlo land a better place to be and especially, for their volunteerism in the development of the land.
Torgbui Nyaho Tamekloe noted that the Volta River dam project is a big one and helped the country in several ways, but affected the Anlo area in terms of fishing activities due to the blockade of water making it difficult for canoes and boats to ply Anyanui and Ada by water for business.
