The Osu Traditional Council in collaboration with the Osu Youth Association would organise a one day Tetteh Quarshie lecture on Friday, August 21, at Osu.
History has it that, the late Tetteh Quarshie was born at Osu, in the Greater Accra Region in 1842, to the late Madam Ashong-Fio from La and the late Mr Mlekuboi from Teshie.
The late Tetteh Quarshie was the first son of the land, who introduced cocoa seeds into Ghana in 1879 from Fernando Po, now Equatorial Guinea and planted the first seed at Mampong Akuapim.
The lecture would be co-chaired by Nii Okwei Kinka Dowuona VI, the Paramount Chief of Osu and President of the Traditional Council and Nii Armah Ashitey, the former Metropolitan Chief Executive for Tema Metropolitan Assembly.
It would be addressed by Dr Nii Amu Darko, a Medical Practitioner in Sydney, Australia.
Tetteh Quarshie died in 1892.
