Nana Afena Nketiah II, during the annual yam festival celebration with the Atomase Royal Family of Techiman, stressed the crucial role of human development in the progress of the nation-building. Speaking to Nkyeremu News, Nana Afena Nketiah II underscored that development goes beyond formal education and includes various forms of support that empower individuals to improve their livelihoods.<\/p>\n

According to Nana Afena Nketiah II, education should not be limited to the classroom. He explained that any form of financial assistance or investment aimed at helping individuals earn a living contributes significantly to national growth. \u201cSupporting people to build their skills or start small businesses is equally as important as formal schooling because it enables sustainable development and economic independence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further emphasised that the government cannot shoulder the responsibility of nation-building alone. Nana Afena Nketiah II called on well-meaning individuals and community members to contribute actively to development efforts in their localities. This collective approach, he noted, would accelerate progress and improve living standards across the country.<\/p>\n

In his address, Nana Afena Nketiah II made a heartfelt appeal to the women of the community, urging them to reconsider their spending habits, especially concerning funeral celebrations. He expressed concern over the large sums of money spent on these events, which he believes could otherwise be invested in the upbringing and education of children. \u201cThe future of our nation lies in our children. Instead of allocating excessive funds to funerals, resources should be channelled towards improving the lives and opportunities of our young ones,\u201d he pleaded.<\/p>\n

The yam festival, a significant cultural event in Techiman Atomase, serves not only as a time for traditional celebration but also as a platform for important community discussions. Nana Afena Nketiah II\u2019s message resonated with many present, highlighting the need for a shift in priorities toward human capital development.<\/p>\n

Community leaders and residents acknowledged the importance of the call to action, pledging to support initiatives that promote education and economic empowerment. The festival ended with renewed commitment from the royal family and the people of Techiman Atomase to work together for sustainable development and a brighter future for the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
