The Paramount Chief of the Paga Traditional Area, Pe Charles Awiah Awampaga II (two time President of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs), has been a key figure in regional leadership and development. His notable engagements and advocacy include:
-
Advocating for Higher Education & Infrastructure: Collaborating with traditional councils to allocate 200 acres of land for university campus development facilities, alongside lobbying central government for critical local amenities such as upgrading healthcare facilities, converting local secondary institutions into boarding schools, and improving link roads.
-
Championing Regional Trade and Economic Growth: Endorsing and collaborating on infrastructural milestones—such as the Paga Transit Truck Park project—which significantly enhanced cross-border trade convenience with Burkina Faso and boosted regional revenue collection.
-
Preserving Cultural Heritage and Peace: Leading traditional stewardship to protect Paga’s unique historical assets (such as the sacred crocodile ponds and the Pikworo Slave Camp) while maintaining Paga’s reputation as a peaceful, welcoming hub for tourism and community harmony.
