The COA Research and Manufacturing Company Limited (COA RMCL), has presented a cheque for ¢600,000 to Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in support of developmental initiatives in Ashanti Region.

The gesture was done as the last Akwasidaekese celebrations at Manhyia.

It was part of an award conferred on the Asantehene for his onerous contribution to peacebuilding in Ghana especially in the Dagbon protracted conflict and election mediation.

According to the President of the Center of Awareness Global Peace Mission (COAGPM), Professor Samuel Ato Duncan has on several occasions mediated in very complex conflict situations.

The award, which comprise a citation, a plague and golden necklace was presented to the Otumfuo.

He said it is surprising that he was not ready to take the credit for his tact and wisdom in all these situations.

“The unity within the Asante Kingdom is testament to the wisdom and leadership qualities of the Otumfuo, hence this must be celebrated by all,” he said.

The COAGPM was founded by Professor Duncan in the year 2000 with the aim of adopting and implementing practical strategies to address the challenges to peace globally.

As part of its mandate, the organization established an annual public lecture which usually brings together leadership from all walks of life to dialogue on how to achieve peace in our communities.

During these public lectures, individuals and organizations that have distinguished themselves in fighting injustice and promoting peace are recognized.

The COA RMCL, are producers of COA Mixture, formerly known COA FS.

According to Professor Duncan, the Ashanti region has contributed in no small way to the promotion of this drug.

" It is therefore expected that we also in our own small way contribute towards the development of the region that accepts our product," he said.

He said COA RMCL has provided sponsorship for all the activities of the COAGPM over the years. He is hopeful that independent researchers will come out and partner the COA RMCL to conduct further research into the efficacy of COA Mixture.

In recent times, our observational studies have given us every indication that COA Mixture, when given the needed attention can turn around the health of many.

He, therefore, entreated Ghanaians and Africans in the diaspora to partner with the COA RMCL in further research to establish the full potential of COA Mixture.

COA Mixture is registered by the FDA as herbal medicine for general well-being.
