10 Chiefs inducted into Nungua Council

The Paramount Chief of the Nungua Traditional Council (NTC), King Odaifio Welentse III, has advised chiefs to desist from selling lands haphazardly to members of the general public.

He said chiefs must rather use their knowledge and expertise to develop their communities. 

Speaking at a ceremony to induct 10 chiefs into the NTC in Accra on Tuesday, he stressed that he would rely mostly on their wisdom to administer the council. 

“Chieftaincy has its own rules and regulations, and it is important for everyone who gets into the NTC to abide by  the rules,” the paramount chief advised.

He added that their maturity, and not guns and cutlasses, would help him in the administration of the council.

The chiefs, following their induction, are obliged to manage the affairs of their communities with due diligence.

They include Nii Afotey Gbetse, Asokrotsonaa Mantse; Nii Laryea Obiasempa I, Yeakona Mantse; Nii Sunkwa Ago Anum, Omooko Mantse; Nii Teiko Tsuru Gonten, Akonoku Mantse; and Nii Subrukutu Dadekowa, Tebibiano Mantse.

The others are Nii Akwei Bonsra, Oyibi Kon Mantse; Nii Laryea Gyewuhene, Klagon Mantse; Nii Borketey Odoley, Negba Mantse; Nii Glido Ababio, Otinshi Mantse; and Nii Afotey Botwe, Otino Mantse.

The chiefs took turns to swear the  oath of allegiance to the paramount chief, assuring him that they would abide by the laws governing the council and ensure that the right things were done to ensure the progress of the council and Nungua.
