Nana Baffuor Oduro Boahen, a former Headmaster of Bekwai Seventh Day’s Adventist Senior High School, has sworn the oath of allegiance to Nana Okumanin Adu-Gyamfi Bonsu, Chief of Jamasi, as the Chief of Yonso.
He, therefore, becomes the Benkumhene of Jamasi in the Sekyere South District of the Ashanti Region.
Nana Okumanin Adu-Gyamfi Bonsu, Jamasihene, tasked Nana Oduro Boahen to always seek the welfare of his subjects, and foster unity among the people to enhance progress and development.
The new Chief indicated that his vision was to partner Nananom (chiefs) of the Jamasi Traditional Area to collaborate with the Mampong Traditional Council for development in the areas of education, health and economic empowerment.
He urged farmers in the area to form cooperatives in order to benefit from the government’s incentives and interventions, including entrepreneurial programmes, to improve upon their livelihoods.
The new Chief also urged the youth to venture into employable skills to create jobs and absorb the majority of their unemployed colleagues.
He pledged to partner the District Assembly to undertake the rehabilitation of both the Primary and Kindergarten buildings, which are over 80 years old, and in very deplorable states, through fundraising.
The Benkumhene of Jamasi is also targeting to build a community center and provide medical supplies and logistics for the nurses’ quarters at the local Community-Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound, which has been upgraded to clinic status, and hoped that with the collaboration with Yonso citizens in the United States of America, the clinic would further be upgraded to hospital status.
