The Ngoryifia of the Tanyigbe Traditional Area, Major-General Henry Anyidoho, has called on urban dwellers to give back to communities in which they were born and nurtured, by offering certain vital social services to them.
He said it would be fair to provide standard education facilities to children in the villages similar to those enjoyed by children in urban areas.
Major- General Anyidoho, who is also the Deputy Joint Special Representative of Africa Union United Nations Hybrid Operations in Darfur made the call during the inauguration of new executives of the Tanyigbe Youth Association at Ho at the weekend.
Maj-Gen Anyidoho described the association as a front-line organ, championing the development of the area and urged the child, parent and teachers to work harmoniously to put education on course.
The Chairman of the association, Mr Winfred Kofi Bimah, expressed concern about lateness to functions and advised people to manage their time very well in order not to be overtaken by circumstances.
He said the function was expected to start at 2.30 p.m. but rather commenced at 4 p.m. which was not good at all.
Mr Bimah said the executives of the association had entered into several social contracts aimed at establishing good relationship between teachers and the community and had also toured schools in the area to motivate teachers to work harder.
He announced that a children’s home would be built at Tanyigbe with the support of an American lady in April.
He said the association would create the platform to educate communities on government policies and other programmes on the health of the people.
Other members of the executive are Mr Sampson Tigoe, vice-chairman; Mr Amorin Kotoh, secretary; Mr John Akoto, assistant secretary; Miss Dorcas Ackuaku, financial secretary; Mrs Peace Anku, treasurer; Mr Teddy Prempeh, organiser and publicity secretary with Elder Emmanuel Tide, Mr Dan Anku and Mrs Anani Dargbey as trustees.
