Asantehene donates GH₵500k to support Ga Education Fund

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, demonstrated his commitment to education by donating GH₵500,000 to the Ga Education Fund.

This announcement came during a grand durbar held in his honour 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.

The Asantehene expressed his gratitude for the Ga State’s warm hospitality and emphasised 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 emphasised.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II argued that modern chieftaincy should prioritise development over territorial disputes. “The current fight should be for development to benefit future generations,” he said.

Acknowledging 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.
