THE Deputy Minister of Information, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said the government will continue to foster unity and the development of the citizenry in an equitable manner as its guiding principle.
He said it had been the prayer for “the day when ethnic strife and poverty would be banished from our land, a day when going to your hometown would not be different from the city you are travelling from and when nobody goes to bed hungry”.
Mr Ablakwa was speaking at the 10th anniversary celebration of the installation of Nana Adusei Atwenewa Ampem, Omanhene of Tepa Traditional area at Tepa in the Ahafo Ano District of Ashanti at the weekend.
It was attended by citizens from far and near, chiefs and their retinues including Nana Kwasi Bosompra, Omanhene of Goaso, Mr Kofi Opoku Manu, Ashanti Regional Minister and some Members of Parliament and District Chief Executives.
The theme for the celebration was : “10 Years of Quality Leadership; Promoting the welfare of the People”.
He commended Nana Atwenewa Ampem for his leadership role and described him as a visionary leader who thinks of the well being of his people.
Recounting some of the development projects undertaken during his 10 years on the stool, the minister mentioned the provision of 60-hectares to the government for the establishment of a hospital complex, his proposal for a Health Assistants’ Training school and housing the Police personnel posted to the town.
He, therefore, pledged the government’s preparedness as a trusted ally in development to improve the lives of Ghanaians.
Mr Kofi Opoku Manu said he had heard and seen the numerous works undertaken by the Omanhene and promised to be on his side in developing the traditional area stressing that the development of the citizenry in an equitable manner would be his guiding principle.
He said the future of the area lay to a large extent on the educational development of the young and future leaders and urged parents to send their children to school.
The Omanhene called on the people in the traditional area to continue to support him in his development efforts through unity and prayers.
He also called on the general public to co-operate with the government for the achievement of the Better Ghana Agenda.
