The Paramount Chief of Nungua Traditional Council, Oboade Notse King Prof Odaifio Welentsi III, has cut the sod for the construction of the Nungua Traditional Council.
He said it has been his topmost priority to see the Nungua community boast of a state-of-the-art edifice to steer the affairs of chieftaincy through the Traditional Council.
“For years, we have called on governments, corporate bodies, individuals, sons and daughters of this land–both home and abroad– but our hopes and expectations were shattered,” Prof Odaifio Welentsi III said in a speech read on his behalf by the Nungua Stool Secretary, Joseph Nii Adortey.
The two-storey structure is funded by Sino Africa, with the contractor being Messrs Construction Ambassadors Limited.
Expected to be completed within eight months, the project will have facilities including offices and conference rooms.
Prof Odaifio Welentsi was, therefore, delighted that finally a sod has been cut to mark the beginning of the construction of a befitting edifice for the Traditional Council.
According to him, through the traditional council, Nungua has seen a great deal of socio-economic development over the years.
“Dispute resolutions, codification of customary law, arrangement of ceremonies and festivals, organisation of communal labour and promotion of socio-economic development, have all been achieved through the council,” he noted.
Prof Odaifio Welentsi III, who doubles as the President of the Nungua Traditional Council, encouraged the council to continue positioning itself in solid foundation in tradition, sacrifice and obligation to the elders, fisher-folks and the general public through adherence to the protocols of royal conduct and rituals.
He seized the opportunity to conscientise Nungua residents to continue obeying the covid protocols.
“…we’re in bad times. The novel Covid-19 is real and still lurking around. Do not let your guards down. Continue following the protocols as directed by the President and the Health Ministry—while we hope and pray that this dust settles someday,” he urged.
