A Takoradi-based businesswoman, Mrs. Theresa Amoh-Yeboah, has been enstooled the Nkosuohemaa of Nsuta Bonkrong in the Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti Region with the stool name, Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I.
She is the wife of Justice Amoh, President of JUSTMOH Construction.
The colourful ceremony, which was attended by traditional rulers, business executives, friends of the Nkosuohemaa and her husband saw a rich display of Ashanti tradition and culture.
Also in attendance were the clergy from various denominations there to support and show appreciation to Nana Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I, who has, over the years, supported community and church activities.
Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I swore the oath of allegiance to the acting President of the Nsutaman Traditional Council, nananom and the people to signify her acceptance of the position, and to abide by the rules, regulations, and responsibilities that go with it as the Nkosuohemaa, and to facilitate the development of Nsuta Bonkrong and the entire Sekyere Central District.
DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
The Nsuta Bonkrong Nkosuohemaa, who has a soft spot for the underprivileged in society, established the Mama Thess Foundation as a special purpose vehicle for her philanthropic programmes. One of the priority areas of the Foundation was investment in the girl-child education.
A number of young girls in both Takoradi where she plies her business and Nsuta Bonkrong, her home town, have benefitted immensely from her generosity and are in school where she caters for all their needs.
Teenage pregnancy is another concern of the Nkosuohemaa, as she has devoted a lot of time, energy, and resources to educate young girls to, as much as possible, avoid teenage pregnancy, but to concentrate on their education and training till completion.
Those who, unfortunately, became victims of teenage pregnancy, were supported to go back to school or learn a trade so they do not become a burden on their parents and society.
LOVE FOR CHILDREN
As a mother, she extended her love, not only to her biological children, but also to the underprivileged children with special needs, as well as orphans. It is, therefore, not surprising that she is the honorary Mother of the Twin-City Special School, where she ensures the children are well catered for.
The Kejebil Children’s Home in the Ahanta West Municipality is another beneficiary of her generous contributions towards the wellbeing of children, where she makes annual donations to the orphanage.
MOTIVATION
Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I indicated that being blessed by the Almighty God makes it imperative for her to be a blessing to the have-nots. “I have reached where I am by God’s grace, and I can only show my appreciation to God by helping others,” she said.
She further indicated: “I will continue to do all I can to help as many people as I can so far as I have the strength with the help of my Maker.”
FUTURE
She promised to do more in her power and new role as the Nkosuohemaa to bring more development to her people. She commended Nana Osei Bosompem III, Adako Jachiehene and acting President of the Nsutaman Traditional Council, Nana Tutuwaa III, Adako Jachiehemaa, Nana Aboagye Sakyi, Nsuta Bonkrong Odikro, the chiefs, elders and people for the trust reposed in him her, and assured them of working to meet their expectations.
She appealed to all Ghanaians to do the little they could to help better the lives of the unprivileged in society.
