Residents of Duayeden Nyanawase, a farming community in the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipality of the Eastern Region, have expressed their frustration over the lack of basic social amenities and infrastructure in the area.

The residents highlighted that the community has been grappling with deteriorating road conditions for the past eight years, which have negatively impacted local businesses and made it difficult for farmers to transport their produce to market centers.

Mr. Stanley Hans Ofori, the Assembly Member for the Duayeden Nyanawase Electoral Area, spoke to Accra FM/CTV news reporter Apelete Kofi-Michel, lamenting the neglect of the area by local leaders.

He pointed out that the roads in the community are in a deplorable state, and the lack of basic amenities has worsened living conditions.

“We lack many essential services in this community.

Our roads are in a deplorable state, and for the past eight years, there has been no provision of streetlights. Refuse dumps are everywhere, the school buildings are in poor condition, and there are no computers for the students.

We also lack potable drinking water, proper network coverage, and healthcare facilities.

Pregnant women and children are suffering and dying due to the absence of healthcare services,” Mr. Ofori said.

He emphasized his willingness to support any government initiative aimed at improving the community’s infrastructure and living conditions.

Nana Awere Gyaasehene, a traditional leader in Duayeden Nyanawase, echoed Mr. Ofori's concerns, expressing deep dissatisfaction with the long-standing neglect of the community.

He lamented the lack of roads, clean water, healthcare facilities, and proper communication networks, which have severely affected the well-being of the residents.

“Duayeden has been neglected for years, and the lack of basic infrastructure is killing us.

We have no proper roads, healthcare facilities, potable water, or even reliable network coverage.

Our people are suffering, and we need immediate intervention,” Nana Awere said.

The residents, speaking to Accra FM/CTV news, voiced their frustrations with local leadership and called on the government to intervene immediately.

They warned that if the situation is not addressed, they will be forced to take matters into their own hands.

“We are appealing to the government and the appropriate authorities to come to our aid.

If nothing is done, we will be left with no choice but to find our own solutions,” said one resident.
