The Overlord of Kasoa Kumbe (Opeikumah), Nana Okoboban Kwaw Otanyi II, has urged the youth to desist from unprofitable and irresponsible activities that hinder personal growth and undermine community development.
Speaking in an interview with Atinka News reporter Samuel Nyamekye Jnr, the Odikro emphasized the need for unity, discipline, and peaceful coexistence among the youth, noting that such values are essential to changing the negative perceptions often associated with Kasoa.
Nana Okoboban Kwaw Otanyi II made these remarks during a health walk organised by the Omankrado of Kasoa Kumbe, Nana Abrehoadze Prempeh.
The event was aimed at drawing investor attention to the development potential of Kasoa Kumbe, while also serving as a platform to launch a football talent discovery initiative through a community gala.
Adding their voices, Nana Abrehoadze Prempeh and Ohenmaa Aba Ayokor Okreabesey called on the youth to shun all forms of social vices and instead engage in productive and income-generating ventures that would empower them to become breadwinners and contributors to the growth of the community.
The health walk attracted a large turnout, including legendary musician K.K. Fosu, who highlighted the role of sports, particularly football, in promoting unity, discipline, and development among young people.
Youth participants expressed appreciation to Nana Prempeh for prioritising their welfare and creating opportunities to nurture talent and foster togetherness within Kasoa Kumbe.
The event reinforced the collective resolve of traditional leaders and community stakeholders to guide the youth toward a more positive, disciplined, and development-oriented future.
