New Dunkwa ‘Nifahene’ advocates gov’t, chiefs partnership to fight illegal mining

Nana Mensah Aninin - Dunkwa Nifahene

Nana Mensah Aninin is the new Nifahene of Dunkwa-On-Offin. He was installed during the Akwasidae celebration last Sunday.

He recommends strong collaboration between the government and traditional leaders. This partnership aims to combat illegal mining in Ghana. He also suggests addressing drug abuse among the youth.

According to Nana Aninin, the government cannot fight these issues alone. Chiefs and other stakeholders must be involved in this effort.

As Caretaker chief of Accra Town, he is committed to discipline among the youth. He wants to sanitize society from immorality and illegal activities.

He emphasized that political parties should stop politicizing security matters. Collaboration with chiefs is essential for fighting drug abuse and illegal mining, especially in forests and water bodies.

Nana Mensah Aninin thanked Dunkwahene Obeng Nuako III for his support. He urged elders and subjects to rally behind him for development in Dunkwa.

He advised the youth to stay away from drugs. He also called on the Ghana Police to ensure personnel are periodically transferred. This prevents officers from becoming too familiar with community members.

Dunkwahene Obeng Nuako III encouraged Nana Aninin to be courageous and honest. He urged him to protect his forebears' legacy by involving elders in decision-making.

The Dunkwahene also advised Nana Aninin to be careful in his role as Nifahene. He should help promote growth and elevate the Dunkwa Traditional Area.
