The event was in accordance with Section 14(1) of the Land Act, 2020 (Act 1036), which mandates the establishment of Customary Land Secretariats by allodial land title holders for lawful and effective land administration.

Present at the event were Nananom of the Atebubu Traditional Area, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Atebubu-Amantin, Masu'd Ayaaba Thomas, Bono and Bono East Director of the Office of the Administrator of Stool Lands, Georgina Rockson, Bono East Regional Lands Surveyor, Bernard Kofi Boateng, as well as religious and opinion leaders.
