A 1,000 capacity state-of-the-art Community Centre has been built by Nana Yim Awere Ababio, Toasehene, for the people of Toase in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti region.
The GHC7 million facility, christened Yim Awere Ababio Dwabrem, which has two conference halls, a spacious area, 12 shops, showroom, self contained accommodation unit, 1,500 chairs and 50 tables will serve the purpose of cultural, social and political gathering in the locality.
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, urged chiefs and traditional leaders to be development oriented to leave a legacy to their communities.
He said the focus should be on improving the lot of their subjects and communities, as the war to be waged.
The Tepamanhene, Nana Adusei Atwenewaa Ampem, who represented the Asantehene at the commissioning of the Yim Awere Ababio Dwabrem, noted that the world is fast becoming competitive and needs visionary leaders to guide the youth to succeed through transformational initiatives, hence the need for leaders to empower their communities.
The Municipal Chief Executive, Wisdom Osei Boamah commended the Toasehene for the foresight and initiative and assured his continuous collaboration with traditional rulers to champion community growth, development and prosperity.
Nana Yim Awee Ababio frowned on poor sanitation and urged the people to adopt good sanitation as a lifestyle and habit, to impact positively on society.
The occasion was graced by distinguished traditional leaders, including Tepamanhene, Otumfuo Mamensenhene, Nkawie Kumaahene and his Queen mother, as well as Atwima Kwanwomahene among others.
