The main issue we have is the naming of the Juapong Railway station instead of Adomi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur case is very simple, the Railway Minister, the Railway Development Authority and everybody knows that where they are trying to name Juapong Station is Adomi station. Adomi is Akwamu and all of us know that is Akwamu land. We don\u2019t know when the Adomi Railway was changed to Juapong Railway station. We were not consulted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll that we are saying is that the status quo needs to be restored. The ministry and the government agencies that look over these railay activities, can\u2019t take Akwamus for granted, we won\u2019t agree. We are telling the government emphatically that we won\u2019t agree, no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU<\/strong>: <strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Akwamu Traditional Council has vowed to use all legitimate means to resist attempts to rename the Adomi Railway Station to Juapong Station.
