The Tutu Traditional Council has officially launched activities to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the enstoolment of the Tutuhene and Atipimhene of Akuapem, Nana Appiah Anti IV.The celebration, which will be held under the theme, "Building on the Past, Shaping the Future - All Hands on Deck," is scheduled to take place from October 24 and will coincide with this year's Ohum Festival.Speaking at the media launch of the anniversary in Tutu, Chairman of the 40th Anniversary Planning Committee and Tutu Mawerehene, Mr Akuffo Kwapong, commended Nana Appiah Anti IV for his four decades of distinguished and transformative leadership in the traditional area.He praised the chief for his immense contributions to the development of Tutu, particularly in the areas of education, culture, and infrastructure.
According to Mr Kwapong, Nana Appiah Anti IV had been instrumental in fostering unity and initiating development projects that have improved the lives of residents.Highlighting some of the legacy projects to mark the milestone, Mr Kwapong disclosed that the Tutuhene would spearhead the expansion of the Tutu Durbar Grounds and the paving of key alleys within the township.
These projects, he said, would enhance mobility, beautify the community, and serve as a lasting symbol of the chief's developmental vision.As part of the celebrations, Nana Appiah Anti IV has also appealed for the release of land for the establishment of a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) centre in the town.
The facility, he said, would equip the youth with practical skills to enable them to become self-reliant and economically empowered."Our schools are doing well academically, but we must go beyond classroom learning.
