 The Representative of the Asante Akim North Education Directorate,  President and Executives of TTAG-ASHBA, Distinguished Guests, Students, Ladies and Gentlemen; I welcome you all to this important gathering of young and budding academics, leaders and drivers of our future educational system.

OTUMFUO OSEI TUTU EXPRESS WORRY OVER POWER OUTAGES IN ASHANTI REGION

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is worried about the recent power outages in the Ashanti Region.

With an LLB (1963) and called to the Bar in 1965, he had shot to fame on the back of the famous Twinkle J case in Cape Coast.

Sarpong wanted badly to be an MP, having cut his political teeth working with ...
