The Western Regional Minister, Joseph Nelson, has promised the public that the city is dedicated to ensuring a safe and secure environment for everyone during the Christmas festivities.
He confirmed that comprehensive security measures have been put in place for the entire duration of the celebrations, from the preparatory phase through to the conclusion. He also assured everyone that the city is firmly committed to providing a safe environment for all during the yuletide.
Mr. Nelson said this during a symbolic ceremony by the Western Regional Coordinating Council (WRCC), in collaboration with the Ghana Tourism Authority, to officially open Sekondi-Takoradi and the wider Western Region to the public for Christmas activities. The ceremony formed part of the annual Sekondi-Taadi Bronya initiative by the GTA, which aims to promote and position the Western Region as a preferred destination for Christmas celebrations.
According to the Regional Minister, a comprehensive security arrangement has been implemented for the period before, during, and after the celebrations. The Western Regional Director of GTA, Henry Yeleduor, warmly invited everyone to experience the city’s signature holiday celebrations. He stated several events have been lined up for the festive season, including TadiFest, the WestSide Carnival, and Made in Taadi, among others.
Promising an exciting and culturally immersive experience, he highlighted that Sekondi-Takoradi offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable Christmas. He, therefore, encouraged people from other parts of the country to visit the region for memorable experiences. Sekondi-Takoradi has emerged as Ghana’s premier Christmas destination, attracting visitors with its vibrant atmosphere and unique charm. The city is especially famous for its spectacular masquerade parade, a dazzling highlight where brilliantly costumed clubs showcase the region’s rich cultural heritage and artistry.
