Sekyedumase

Sekyedumase is a town in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The town is known for the Sekyedumase Secondary School. Historically Sekyedomase which is an agricultural town is the leading producer of maize in Ghana as the Savannah or the tropical grasslands of the late fifties had encroached on the forest so maize, yam, cassava and groundnut production has become the mainstay of Sekyedomase. Farming being the main economic activity of the town, it is therefore gratifying to note that market day of Thursday draws many traders from Ejura, Asante Mampong, Drobong, Teacherkrom, Jentu, Ayenasu, Frante and many other towns bordering the town all bring their wares to buy and sell at Sekyedomase.

In the 60s a Philanthropist provided the town with a generator as a way of bringing light to the streets and the town, he had vision to change our town's name to Sekocity but he received minimal support from the governments so that could not materialise.

The town also was the fore runner for Gospel Music on large scale in Ghana. The Sekyedomase Group singers was formed in the 70s but it fizzled out when the Sekyedomase Gospel Singers fronted by one Yaw Boakye a citizen of the town in the 80s. It was headed by that dynamic and talented Gospel musician, "Professor" Kofi Abraham, they led the way in the commercialisation of Gospel music in Ghana as they were promoted by one of the best brains in music production, AK Brobbey also from Sekyedomase.

The number one chronic problem which beset the town throughout the 19th and 20th century,was the Fiften miles road from Aframso which has now been constructed with asphalt and a journey which took more than two hours those days now takes less than thirty minutes.There is a lot of scope for development and if we are lucky to attract one of the government flagship programmes of one district one factory, we shall experience accelerated phenomenal development.{By Kofi Owusu-Ansah, ghanamindset and citizen of Sekyedomase} roundnut prodvery famous w ith maize[1][2] The school is a second cycle institution.[3]
