The Municipal Chief Executive of Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal Assembly (LEKMA), Hon. Seth Badu -Tawiah, said his party’s political opponents are not their enemies and for him, political parties are basically development oriented entities seeking the mandate of Ghanaians to rule and develop the country probably via different strategies. Hon. Badu-Tawiah was speaking at Ghana’s 59th Independence Day Anniversary celebration at the Royal Park in Nungua on Sunday March 6th, 2016.
This year’s Independence Day anniversary celebration was under the theme ‘INVESTING IN THE YOUTH FOR GHANA’S TRANSFORMATION. In all, 1,232 students and pupils from 28 basic schools, 5 second cycle schools and 56 teachers were drawn from the Municipality.
Hon. Badu -Tawiah together with the Municipal Director of Education, Mr. Yaw Fosu Danquah and other dignitaries inspected the parade. In his welcome address, Mr. Fosu Danquah, quoting the words of the First Lady of Ghana, Her Excellency Mrs. Lordina Mahama said, “the future of every country depends on the activeness of its youth’. According to him, the youth need to be empowered by ensuring that they are equipped to fully seize all the opportunities that surround them.
Touching on the theme for the celebration, Hon. Badu -Tawiah said it was laudable, timely and very appropriate. In his opinion, the theme should be considered a big challenge for government, parents, caretakers, teachers and the society as a whole to consciously train and build the capacities of the youth now so as to prepare them for leadership positions in the future to socially and economically transform the country.
Some schools that excelled in the march past at the parade were given awards. Below are the tables of schools that received awards and points earned.
