The Mpohor-Fiase District joined the rest of Ghana in observing the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, bringing Christians and Muslims together around the theme, "Resetting Our Values to Build the Ghana We Want."
The district celebration was held in two sessions at Adum-Banso. The Christian service took place in the morning at God Is Our Light Church International, while the Muslim prayer session was held in the afternoon at the Adum-Banso Central Mosque. Traditional authorities, security agency representatives, Assembly department heads, opinion leaders and residents attended. District Coordinating Director Mr. Alhassan Sulemana led the Assembly's delegation on behalf of the district administration.
During the Christian service, Pastor Samuel Ofosunene Sarpong of the Church of Pentecost, Adum-Banso, called on Ghanaians to embrace righteousness, integrity, humility and patriotism. He said national renewal begins with personal responsibility and urged citizens to reject corruption, dishonesty, greed and injustice in favour of truth, accountability, compassion and service.
Representing the Omanhene of Adum-Banso Traditional Area, Guantuahene Nana Kwaku Bompeh I thanked the Assembly for selecting Adum-Banso as the host community. He highlighted the role of prayer in promoting peace, unity and development, and encouraged residents to support community initiatives while preserving the district's cultural values.
At the Muslim prayer session, Chief Imam Alhaji Sualihu prayed for peace and progress in the district and Ghana. He encouraged residents to uphold honesty, discipline, respect and peaceful coexistence. Delivering the Member of Parliament's message, Presiding Member Hon. John Donkoh, who represented Hon. Kofi Bentil, called for unity and collective responsibility in advancing the district's development.
District Chief Executive Hon. Sophia Aubynn urged residents to translate the spirit of prayer into actions that protect the environment. She raised concerns about illegal mining and its effects on vegetation, rivers, livelihoods and public safety, and called on stakeholders to protect natural resources.
Hon. Aubynn also said the Assembly would enforce planning regulations by removing structures erected on waterways and wetlands, and asked residents to stop dumping refuse into gutters, streams and other water bodies. The celebration closed with calls for moral renewal, environmental stewardship, peaceful coexistence and shared responsibility.
