Mama Awusi Sreku III, Paramount Queen of Mepe Traditional Area, who performed the enstoolment urged Ms Tetteh to help the area to achieve its goals and aspirations.<\/p>\n
Togbe Kwesi Adzimah, Warlord of Mepe Traditional Area on behalf of the Traditional Council, described Mepe as peaceful but a deprived state needing the assistance of development oriented individuals.<\/p>\n
He said lack of potable water, good road networks and sustainable economic activity were the major challenges facing the area and called for assistance from government to address such concerns.<\/p>\n
Ms Tetteh said she felt honoured and appreciated for having been enstooled a Development Queen and said she would contribute her quota to the development of Mepe.<\/p>\n
She urged opinion leaders in the area to identify a sustainable economic project that would bring development to the area.<\/p>\n
Ms Tetteh said the Mepe\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s expectations were in line with government\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s development agenda and promised that the area would have its fair share of the national cake.<\/p>\n
Mr Okudzeto commended the community for the recognition and reassured the people of government\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s commitment to fulfill its promises to them.<\/p>\n
He said by the end of March this year, government would provide them with tractors to encourage the youth in farming activities.<\/p>\n
Mr Okudzeto said government was also working towards resolving water and other developmental challenges in the area and called for support from all.<\/p>\n
He urged the young people to be confident, humble and work hard to be successful in life.<\/p>\n
Mr Okudzeto also advised them to take risk in life but discouraged them from weaning sand at the coastal area, which he described as dangerous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
