Akufo and New Patriotic Party (NPP) government are due for such recognition in this year’s Nkyifie
celebration.
Nana Kwadwo Nyarko III said the government has done a lot for the people of Prang and it is important
that Nana and his people honor the President publicly.
Nana Kwadwo Nyarko III recalled that during 2016 elections campaign, Nana Addo visited Prang, where
he promised to help develop the town, which promise he has kept.
“Now Prang can boast of a new assembly complex, town roads, an Agenda 111 hospital project ongoing,
Regional Feeder Roads Office, one-district one- factory, the Prang to Kintampo road under serious
construction and when completed it would open up Prang and other parts of the country, portable
drinking water and Schools infrastructure and many more,” Nana said.

President J J Rawlings administration, and former president of the Brong Ahafo House of chiefs prayed

Nana commended the president on the idea of Constructing 111 modern hospitals across the country
known as Agenda 111. He said that is an indication that this is a discerning government and edged the
President on his vision.
He said the Agenda 111 policy is a very good one and would serve as a guiding light for future
governments due to the lessons drawn from the Covid 19 pandemic.
Touching on the youth’s future, he appealed to them to go into farming to avoid the association of
graduates’ unemployment.
According to him the climate change has affected the economy, weather and everything and gone are
the days when a job would be ready for you at the completion of university education.
“In days past, upon completion of university your job, car and your bungalow is there waiting for you.
Now, you cannot even find a job. So we must also know how to adjust ourselves equally to move with
this world,” he said.
He admonished the youth to refrain from all social vices and try to be good citizens.
He also spoke about peace during and after election because Ghana will continue be moving forward
and any least mistake you do can hinder your progress hence his counsel to behave and
conduct themselves very well.
