The Gomoa Ajumako Traditional Council has sworn in a total of 105 chiefs and 55 queen mothers in a historic ceremony aimed at strengthening traditional leadership and promoting development across the area.
The mass swearing-in, held during the Council’s first annual State Council Meeting at Gomoa Ajumako in the Central Region, was described as a strategic move to reduce the financial burden on individuals who would otherwise undertake separate oath-taking ceremonies.
Addressing the gathering, the Omanhene of Gomoa Ajumako, Obrempon Nyanful Krampah XI, urged the newly inducted traditional leaders to work closely with their Odikros to attract development projects in key sectors such as education, healthcare, roads, and water supply.
He emphasized that effective collaboration among traditional authorities was essential to improving living standards and accelerating socio-economic growth within the area.
The Omanhene also used the occasion to appeal for increased government investment in the Central Region, particularly in infrastructure, job creation, and basic social services. While acknowledging ongoing road projects, he called for more communities to benefit under the government’s “Big Push” initiative to enhance transportation and economic activity.
The event attracted several prominent traditional rulers, including Neenyi Ghartey VII, Omanhene of Effutu, and Okofo Katakyi Nyakoh Eku X, who both commended the initiative.
They advised the newly sworn-in chiefs and queen mothers to uphold respect for traditional authority, safeguard ancestral lands, and contribute meaningfully to the development of their communities.
The ceremony not only marked a significant step in reinforcing traditional governance structures but also served as a renewed call for unity and collective responsibility in driving development across the Gomoa Ajumako Traditional Area.
