According to Nene Akoto Sah VII, Chief Warlord of Agotime traditional area, the enclave had struck it rich with the New Patriotic Party-led government in terms of landmark infrastructure and facilities, as the area benefited from the water supply, a market facility, and the start of a district hospital project during the presidential term of John Agyekum Kuffour.
The chief described their decade-long lobbying for a district hospital as a dream come true and conveyed his wish for the facility to be completed soon. He stated that the people are keen on facilitating the multi-facilitated hospital project with sand, stone chips, and other materials to complete the hospital as quickly as possible.
