The Oti Region is one of the six newly created regions of Ghana and was carved out of the Volta Region in December 2018. This followed the campaign promise of Nana Akufo-Addo to create new regions in order to bring governance closer to the people. The region was inaugurated on May 14, 2019 with Dambai as its capital.
