The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has donated GHC500,000 to the Ga State as part of efforts to help the Ga Mantse King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II establish an Education Trust Fund.
The Fund is to help brilliant but needy students in the Ga State to pursue higher education.
The Asantehene donated the amount at a special durbar held in his honour by the ruler of Ga State on Sunday, June 8, 2024.
Delivering his speech at the durbar, the Asantehene asked if the Ga State had a Trust Fund then went ahead to pledge his support in helping the Ga Mantse establish one.
The Ga Mantse is hosting the Asantehene in this historic visit to the Ga State.
The visitation forms part of the longstanding bond between the two traditional leaders and their efforts to deepen the relationship between Gas and Asantes.
Asantehene is grateful to the Ga Mantse for the durbar, which he said had in attendance several chiefs from the Ga State.
The durbar of the two gallant royals was also used to promote peace ahead of the presidential and parliamentary elections in December this year.
It is also a historic visit and rekindles the strong ties of friendship between the Gas and Ashantis.
It also follows the Ga Mantse’s active participation in the Asantehene’s recent celebration of his 25th anniversary on the throne.
He urged the subjects and all chiefs under the Ga Mantse to support their overlord in discharging his duties in bringing unity and stability to the Ga State and the country as a whole.
