THE Omanhene of the Breman Traditional Area in the Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa District, Odeefo Amoakwa Buadu VIII, has reminded the youth of the value of education and advised them to study hard and become useful citizens.
He urged them not to see material wealth as the standard for success.
Speaking at a durbar to climax this year’s Afahye festival of the chiefs and people of Breman Asikuma at the weekend, Odeefo Amoakwa Buadu VIII said happiness lay not in the mere possession of money, but on one committing himself to honesty.
He used the occasion to launch a five-year strategic plan which places premium on education, health and agriculture, among others.
Odeefo Amoakwa Buadu called on the government to improve the existing educational infrastructure, provision of accommodation for teachers and education in the area.
He further called for the rehabilitation of the Asikuma-Anyinabrim road to open up the area.
Odeefo Amoakwa Buadu commended the government for the various interventions in the educational sector such as the introduction of the free school uniforms, exercise books and the School Feeding Programme to enhance enrolment.
The Minister of Chieftaincy and Culture, Mr Alexander Asum Ahensan, said the government had increased the Capitation Grant by 15 per cent.
He also commended the Omanhene for his foresight and efforts to develop the area, giving the assurance that the district would receive its fair share of development.
