Adaklu District

Adaklu District is one of the eighteen districts in Volta Region, Ghana. Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Adaklu-Anyigbe District in 2004. However on 28 June 2012, it was split out into two new districts by then-president John Atta Mills: Adaklu District (capital: Adaklu Waya) and Agotime-Ziope District (capital: Agortime-Kpetoe).[1] The district assembly is located in the central part of Volta Region and has Agortime-Kpetoe as its capital town.
