The widows, numbering about 30, were from all the communities within the electoral area of Nkrumakrom, Yayaso, Kankyiabo, Ntaasano, Alavanyo, Apenti, and Damptekrom.

The items included clothes, rice, cooking oil, canned tomatoes, and canned fish of which he said “He who puts smiles on the faces of the needy and the less privileged has done the needful and pleases the Lord Almighty.”

He advised traditional authorities and the widows to take advantage of the Free Senior High School programme and send their children to school, adding; “It’s only when the children get an education that they will be able to take proper care of them”.

He said the Government, through the Ghana COCOBOD, had invested heavily in the cocoa regeneration programme so the people should embrace it and take full advantage to get their diseased cocoa farms to be replanted.

Nana Ofori, the Odikro of Ntaasano, in a welcome address, said they were grateful to the DCE for the development they had seen so far under his administration.

The Dagaare Chief, Taanaa Manu, commended the DCE for the gesture and prayed for him.
