Nana Akaakye II is the newly outdoored Adehyehemaa of the Lower Town Axim and Nsein Traditional Area
The newly outdoored Adehyehemaa of the Lower Town Axim and Nsein Traditional Area, Nana Akaakye II, has pledged to prioritise education throughout her traditional area.
She emphasised a strong focus on girls and underprivileged children, promising bold efforts to expand access, improve infrastructure, and create opportunities for the youth.
Speaking during her outdooring ceremony at Nsein in the Western Region, Nana Akaakye II stated that education is the most powerful tool for unlocking the potential of communities and must be prioritised to drive development.
“Our children deserve the opportunity to dream beyond their current circumstances,” she said. “As queen mother, I will do everything within my power to ensure that no child—especially no girl—is left behind.”
She emphasised that true development cannot happen unless young people are equipped with knowledge and skills. “If we want to build a future of hope and prosperity, we must begin in the classroom—with books, with mentorship, with opportunity,” she said.
The new royal queen mother also outlined other key areas of focus for her reign, including healthcare improvement, economic empowerment, and community development.
She pledged to work with health authorities to organise screening exercises, launch maternal and child health campaigns, and introduce a mobile outreach programme for remote villages.
In tackling economic hardship, Nana Akaakye II announced plans to promote vocational skills training, support women-led businesses, and connect youth to entrepreneurship and mentorship opportunities.
She also committed to lobbying for improved infrastructure, including roads, schools, water supply, and market facilities.
With her background in strong Christian values and community engagement, Nana Akaakye II made it clear that her role would be one of active leadership and grassroots collaboration.
“I have not come to be served but to serve,” she declared. “Together, with the guidance of our chiefs and the voices of our people, we will build a legacy of learning, empowerment, and transformation.”
The Paramount Chief of the area, Awulae Agyefi Kwame II, lauded Nana Akaakye II for her clear vision and devotion to service. “This is not just an installation — it is a renewal of our commitment to development,” he said. “Her Majesty has shown readiness to serve, and we must all support her.”
