OFFICIAL NOTICE ON CHANGE OF CHAIRMAN FOR 2026 YAGBON DAMBA CELEBRATION.
14th September, 2026.
The Planning Committee of the Yagbon Damba Festival 2026 wishes to inform the general public, sons and daughters of Gonjaland, friends and well-wishers of a change in the Chairmanship of this year’s Yagbon Damba Festival.
The earlier announcement of the Executive Chairman of Dara Salaam Group of Companies as Chairman of the 2026 Yagbon Damba has been revised due to an emergency circumstance beyond his control, which requires him to travel outside the jurisdiction of Ghana with immediate effect. As a result, he will unfortunately be unable to serve in the capacity of Chairman for this year’s celebration.
The Planning Committee in consultation with the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama agreed to be the Chairman of the 2026 Yagbon Damba Celebration
We therefore respectfully request the public to disregard and pull down the earlier flyer announcing the Executive Chairman of Dara Salaam Group of Companies as Chairman and refer to the revised flyer accompanying this statement for the updated information.
The Planning Committee expresses its sincere appreciation to the Executive Chairman of Dara Salaam Group of Companies for his willingness and commitment to support this year’s Yagbon Damba and wishes him well in his emergency engagement.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience, confusion or misunderstanding this change may cause and count on the continued understanding, cooperation and support of all sons and daughters of Gonjaland, our traditional authorities, partners, sponsors, friends and well-wishers.
We look forward to a successful Yagbon Damba 2026, as we come together to celebrate our rich cultural heritage, promote unity and strengthen our collective commitment to the development of Gonjaland.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
