In a move that blends personal philanthropy with public service, the former Western North Regional Minister, Joojo Rocky Obeng has marked his birthday with the donation of a fully equipped police holding facility to the Aowin Municipal Assembly in the Western North Region on Thursday, April 2, 2026.The facility, intended to serve communities including Nkwanta, Kramokrom, Asuakrom, Miles 4, and Achimfo, is expected to significantly ease operational pressure on the Enchi Police Station while strengthening local crime prevention efforts.Announcing the gesture on Thursday, April 2, 2026, Mr Obeng framed the intervention as both a civic responsibility and a personal commitment to community safety.“I have on this day, my birthday donated this structure to the Aowin Municipal Assembly… to be used as a Police Holding Station… This is to ease the pressure on Enchi Police Stations and help combat crime within the enclave… My family and I have pledged to pay both Electricity bills & Water bills for the life of this Police Station for as long as the Lord keeps us alive.”The structure is purpose-built to support frontline policing operations in underserved communities. It includes:A 10-capacity male holding cellA 5-capacity female holding cellA charge officeAn office for the station officerA summer hut capable of accommodating at least 15 police officersBeyond the physical infrastructure, the long-term pledge to cover utility costs underscores a sustainability model rarely seen in similar interventions, effectively removing recurring financial burdens from the state.Strategic Impact on Local SecurityFrom a policy and operational standpoint, the donation addresses a persistent gap in decentralised policing infrastructure. Communities within the Aowin enclave have historically relied on the Enchi Police Station, often stretching resources thin and slowing response times.This intervention is expected to improve police response efficiency, enhance detention and processing capacity, strengthen community-police engagement, serve as a deterrent to criminal activity within the enclave.About Joojo Rocky ObengMr. Obeng is a financial analyst, entrepreneur, and politician who served as Western North Regional Minister from March 2021 to January 2025 under the administration of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.He holds academic credentials from the University of Ghana and the University of the Witwatersrand, with a background in finance and economics.Before his ministerial role, he served as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority and led policy advocacy as Executive Director of the Centre for National Affairs.During his tenure, he was associated with infrastructure expansion across the region, including road development projects exceeding 600 kilometres, aimed at improving connectivity and economic activity.This latest donation aligns with a broader pattern of personal giving that has defined Mr Obeng’s public image.
