Before the presentation of items, Mr Eric Nana Agyemang Prempeh, the Director General of NADMO urged the Traditional Authorities not to relent on their laurels but rather collaborate with the Assembly to demolish all structures which are in the verge of collapse to prevent loss of lives and properties of people.
The Senior Advisor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Mr Yaw Osafo-Maafo, has called on Christians to offer practical support to the government to build a better nation.
