On August 29, 2026, the Agou Nyogbo-Sud community in Togo celebrated the 54th edition of the TEZAN yam festival. The event, led by Togbui PEBI V, focused on themes of unity, peace, and social cohesion.
Organizers emphasized that the festival serves as a vital tool for economic development through agriculture and as a means to preserve cultural identity. However, committee president Anges Ketor noted challenges facing the community, including a decline of interest in traditions among the youth and environmental concerns regarding water pollution affecting sources from Mount Agou.
The festivities included processions from the six quarters of the canton and the presentation of various local yam varieties.
