Ferdinand Kwasi Fiawoo

Ferdinand Kwasi Fiawoo (26 December 1891, in Wasuta – 21 July 1969) was a Ghanaian religious minister, playwright and educator, founder of Zion College, the first secondary school in Ghana's Volta Region.

While a student, he also wrote his first Ewe drama, Toko Atolia in 1932, which won a prize from the International Institute of African Languages and Culture in London.

He entered politics in 1951, as a member of the Legislative Assembly of the Gold Coast representing the Council of Chiefs for the Anlo state.

His house was burnt down in an Anloga riot against taxes in January 1953, and Fiawoo did not return to politics after losing his Assembly seat in the 1954 elections.
