Education
Nene Sakite gave a speech during the launch and urged the locals to prioritize their children's education.
to reach their full potential for the good of both themselves and society.
According to him, many of the local kids would have done well in school if they had had the opportunity to receive a formal education.
"I'm saying this because of the outcome the traditional region is seeing from the endowment fund for education that I started a few years ago after becoming the Konor's throne.
According to the statistics, up to 1,500 students from senior high school (SHS), technical, vocational, and postsecondary universities benefited from the money, he said.
His accomplishments over the previous 25 years include creating an Education Endowment Fund, becoming the first to provide HIV medications to Ghana, and bringing the European Union headquarters to Accra. He pushed for funds for a variety of educational infrastructure projects, including JHS classroom blocks at Odumase Presbyterian School, Odumase Akro JHS and offices, teachers residences at Asesewa, and a clinic at Kodjonya, close to Odumase-Krobo.
Additionally, he advocated for the building of a high court and a nursing and midwifery school in Odumase-Krobo.
Among many other accomplishments, he was appointed in 2004 as the first council member of the National Health Insurance Scheme, appointed in 2009 as a council member of the Ghana Education Service, and appointed in 2015 as a trustee of the GETFund.
