Any Country’s Development Hinges on Women- Otumfuo

The Occupant of the Golden Stool, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has affirmed the indispensable contribution and significance of women to the development of countries around the world.

He posits that the gender cannot be sidelined when it comes to the development of countries. It is for this reason he wants women deliberately developed through education.

The King of the Asante Kingdom said this during a courtesy visit by the Management and Board of the Kumasi Girls’ Senior High School (SHS) on Wednesday, August 28, 2024.

In his address, he noted that the school has produced countless elites who are currently serving Mother Ghana in various critical sectors with their intellect and expertise.

Expressing gratitude for the work done by the staff so far, he counselled them to take a keen interest in the education of the students.

“I urge all the staff members to keep up the good work. Kumasi Girls has produced a lot of female elites. The school started at Tafo and moved to its present location. We all know how critical women’s education is to the development of any country. Take good care of the students for me.”

The leadership of the school paid a visit to Otumfuo to introduce their new headteacher to him.

Among the delegation were the Board Chairman, Nana Fobi Kopa III, the new headmistress, Mrs Adellaide Biyaa Powers, Gloria Ohene Owusu, the Accountant, Rebecca Tetteh, the Assistant Headmistress in charge of Administration, Mabel Oppong, the Assistant Headmistress in charge of Academics, Gifty Mensah Bonsu, the Assistant Headmistress in charge of Domestic, some teachers and students.
