The Nkosuohene of Kwahu-Nkwatia, Nana Owiredu Wadie I has been honoured by the National Peace Council for his contribution to promoting peace and culture of love in the Eastern Region.
The Chief, who doubles as the Chairman of the Kabaka Foundation - a benevolent organization, received the overall prestigious award the "Eastern Regional Peace Ambassador Award".
Presenting a citation to acknowledge him for his outstanding support to mobilizing people and resources for peace building, gender equality, equal participation, empowerment of women among others, the Council, could not, but select him as the winner of the award.
To come out victorious, he satisfied five of the Sustainable Development Goals in the area of "no poverty, Zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education and peace, justice and strong institutions".
Perhaps motivated by ex-American president, John F. Kennedy's maxim that says "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country", Nana Wadie's love for peace and security spurs him on to do more for society.
To mention but a few, Nana Owiredu Wadie through his Kabaka Foundation has built and handed over an ultra-modern Circuit Court to the Ghana Judiciary, constructed a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for the Eastern Regional Hospital, donated a brand new 4×4 pick-up to the newly established Nkwatia Divisional Police Command
He has also constructed a smart lab for the St. Peter's SHS, provided free school uniforms, school bags to basic school children, fed and donated cash to over five hundred street hawkers in Okponglo, Shiashi and under-bridge to lesson their burden.
The Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Kwame Acheampong who presented the award, commended the Chief for his continuous support to peace building in the Region.
Nana Owiredu Wadie, on his part, appreciated the National Peace Council for the honour done him and urged all and sundry to embrace peace and justice.
