It is therefore estimated that a post or story on the page directly hits not less than forty thousand (40k) people as well as some dozens of one hundred thousand (100k) people indirectly through other news portal affiliations to Akukorku Media Consult.

In Ghana, the page is liked by some 2,400 people with about half of this number based in Accra.

About two thousand (2k) people representing 77 percent are males whereas 577 persons accounting for 22 percent are females.

The name of the page, “Akukorku” is in honour of my late father, Mr. Seth Kwaku Attipoe or Torgbui Duklui Attipoe IV who passed on 24th May, 1988. He was a Divisional Chief of Woeto-Anyako in the Keta Municipality of the Volta Region. Before his enstoolment, the late S.K. Attipoe was one of the two chiefs the Attipoe family had between the mid 1950s and the early 1980s under the stool name, Torgbui Akukorku II, a stool he occupied for close to thirty-two (32) years. In 1984 when the late Torgbui Duklui Attipoe III passed, the family reached a consensus to further deepen its unity under one traditional ruler. This led to the subsequent enstoolment of my father as Torgbui Duklui Attipoe IV for an additional four (4) years until he left for the other world in 1988.

The late Seth Kwaku Attipoe, Torgbui Akukorku II or Torgbui Duklui Attipoe IV was a social worker, an educationist, catechist, pianist, preacher, counselor, a magistrate and unifier, a disciplinarian and a man of principle. He was also an honest, loving and caring father. It is these values and virtues that Akukorku Media Consult holds in high esteem and wants to protect and preserve for future generations.

The hog plum or “Akukorku” is a sweet and sour small rectangular-like tropical orange-coloured fruit. It has a thin layer usually chewed alongside the soft fruit. Its seed is very hard to crack. ‘Spondias mombin’ is its scientific name. The appellation for “Akukorku” in Ewe says. “akukorku be yede ha fe dorme gbor” literally meaning, ‘the hog plum says it has escaped to safety from the tummy of the pig unhurt’. In otherwords, the “Akukorku” is not only powerful but can thrive in any environment, a unique and important elements of life for success.

The logo thus has its motto, ‘Exceedingly Authentic, Informative and Reliable’ with the pledge to be balanced, factual, accurate and detail in our reportage. The logo has three (3) hog plum fruits with one decorated with a royal hat depicting the source of the name, “Akukorku”.

Management of Akukorku Media Consult wishes to assure its numerous followers and well-wishers that the page would continue to remain an emerging social media platform in the media space in the Volta and Oti Regions in particular and the country as a whole.
