The Minister of Food and Agriculture, Major Courage Quashigah (rtd) at the weekend tasked the Hohoe and Jasikan District Chief Executives and their Members of Parliament to team up with security agencies to solve the 18 year-old Alavanyo-Nkonya land dispute to enhance development.

The two MPs are Dr Kwabena Adjei for the Biakoye Constituency in the Jasikan District and Mr Nat Aduajoe for Hohoe-North.
