Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has donated GH₵500,000 to the Ga Education Fund. The announcement was made during a grand durbar held in his honor by the Ga State, led by the Ga Mantse, Nii Teiko Tsuru II.
“I want to donate an amount of GH₵500,000 to the Ga Education Fund to help in the education of less-privileged Ga children,” the Asantehene’s interpreter said, conveying his message.
The Asantehene expressed his gratitude for the warm hospitality extended to him by the Ga State and emphasized the importance of unity among Ghanaians. He called for a united front between the Ga and Ashanti people, as well as cooperation among all chiefs.
“The people of Ga and Ashanti must unite to develop our peoples. All Ga chiefs must unite behind Nii Teiko Tsuru II. Unity and development must be our focus in the interest of our children,” he emphasized.
The Asantehene stressed that modern chieftaincy should prioritize development over territorial disputes. “The current fight should be for development to benefit future generations,” he said.
In acknowledgement of the support he received from Nii Teiko Tsuru II during his 25th-anniversary celebration, the Asantehene said, “I appreciate your presence during my 25th anniversary celebration. You showed love. This is a reciprocal gesture.”
The Asantehene urged all Ga chiefs to support Nii Teiko Tsuru II’s development initiatives for the region and pledged his continued backing for the Ga Mantse.
The donation is expected to support the education of underprivileged children in the Ga community, promoting a brighter future for the youth.
