This mindset must change.'Nene Osakonor shared his personal experience, highlighting how educ ation had transformed his life despite his humble beginnings, stressing that every child must receive the needed education.He appealed to traditional leaders and stakeholders to refocus on education, ensuring a brighter future for the Ada State.The chief commended the people of Ada for their enthusiastic participation in the Asafotu Festival and thanked pacesetters for organising the Royal Walk for over two decades.He also advocated for peaceful coexistence and justice, especially as the general election approaches.Source: Ghana News Agency
