Sirigu (U/E), July 22, GNA – The Chiefs and people of the Sirigu Traditional Area will celebrate the 10th Anniversary reign of the Azukodaana Naba Roland Atogumdeya Akwara III, the Paramount Chief of the area.

The celebration is scheduled for December 26, to December 30, 2025, on the theme: “A decade of leadership, unity and development,” would attract the sons and daughters of Sirigu within and outside the traditional area.
It would afford them the opportunity to honour the leadership of the Azukodaana over the decade, institutionalize the Azuko festival as an annual cultural event to pay homage to the founder of the land, Azuko, whose vision and courage gave birth to the Sirigu community.
The celebration would further foster community unity and participation in all community activities, promote cultural heritage and tourism, mobilize resources for community development initiatives, inspire the youth through education and talent recognition, strengthen national and diaspora partnerships.
At a joint launch of the anniversary and maiden celebration of the Azuko cultural festival of the Chiefs and people, Naba Akwara III in a speech delivered on his behalf, urged residents to use the occasion to reflect, rejoice and recommit to the values that bonded them together as one resilient community.
He called on the sons and daughters of the area, dignitaries, neighbours, well-wishers and the international community to join the traditional council in the countdown to the maiden festival.
“Let this 10th Anniversary and maiden celebration of the Azuko festival be a living tribute to leadership, legacy and love for our homeland. As we prepare for the festival, I appeal to all of us to begin to save money and other resources to be used for the development projects to make Mother Sirigu great and strong,” he said.
The Azukodaana used the launch to thank God, his ancestors, the gods of Sirigu, Divisional Chiefs, Queen Mothers, Assembly members, government and non-governmental agencies and women groups, among others, for their support over the
decade, and commended the Azuko Festival Committee led by Mr Ricky Kasisi Peprah for its contributions towards the main occasion in December.
Mr Donatus Akamugri Atanga, the Upper East Regional Minister, who graced the launch, congratulated the Paramount Chief for the successes over the decade, and his “distinguished service” to the people of Sirigu.
He noted that Naba Akwara III’s decade reign was marked by dignity, calm, wisdom, commitment to visionary traditional leadership and service to the development of Sirigu.
“You have over the years, championed education, upheld cultural identity, supported women’s empowerment through the Sirigu Women’s Organization for Pottery and Art (SWOPA), and most importantly, promoted peace and cohesion in your jurisdiction, and as well, opened new doors for inclusive growth and development,” he said.
According to a brief profile of the Paramount Chief, he is the 15th male child among 30 siblings, born on December 26, 1985, to Naba Adumbire Akwara II and Madam Akumlekima Akanyange Adumbire.
His educational journey began at the Sirigu Primary through to the Sirigu Junior High School, where he completed his basic education in 2004, and proceeded to the Bolgatanga Secondary School.
He worked briefly with the Navrongo Health Research Centre after Secondary education, and inspired by his passion for community development, he served as pupil teacher at his alma mater, the Sirigu Primary School.
Prior to his enskinnment, the Paramount Chief proceeded to the Saint John Bosco College of Education in Navrongo from 2012 to 2015, after which he was enskinned Paramount Chief on July 20, same year.
