Nana Obutu Frimpong, Chief of Essaso in the Asamankese Traditional Area, has appealed to queen mothers in the area to help educate their people, especially women, on the need to form co-operative groups to enable them to access loans from the numerous interventions put in place by the government.
Nana Obutu told the GNA in an interview that the government recognized the role of women in the socio-economic development of the country, hence
the establishment of the Ministry of Women and Children's Affairs.
He called for the total empowerment of women to enable them to play their roles effectively in their communities, adding "chiefs and queens
should not only be invited to decorate functions organized by assemblies, but be involved in their programmes.
Nana Obutu appealed to Metropolitan, Municipal and District assemblies to involve chiefs and queens in programmes and deliberations.
He urged the West Akim Municipal Assembly and the Department of Feeder Roads to rehabilitate feeder roads at Essaso.
