The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has generously donated GH₵500,000 to support the education of underprivileged Ga Dangbes.
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 declared through an interpreter at the event.
This durbar marks a significant occasion, being part of the first historic visit by the King of Ashanti to the Ga State since 1946.
During his address, the Asantehene expressed his gratitude to the Ga State for their warm reception and called for unity among the Ga and Ashanti peoples, as well as among all chiefs in the country.
"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.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II highlighted that the modern role of chieftaincy should focus on development rather than territorial conquests.
"The fight now should be for development in the interest of the future generation," he stated.
He also expressed his appreciation to Nii Teiko Tsuru II for the support shown during his 25th-anniversary celebrations, noting, "I appreciate your presence during my 25th anniversary celebration. You showed love. This is a reciprocal gesture."
The Asantehene called on all chiefs in the Ga State to support Nii Teiko Tsuru II in his efforts to develop the region and pledged his ongoing support for the Ga Mantse.
"I pray for guidance from the gods. My doors are open. Anytime you need advice on any subject, I am always available," he assured.
