Manso-Nkwanta (Ash), Jan. 11, GNA - Nana Bi-Kusi Appiah II, Omanhene of Manso-Nkwanta Traditional Area, has called for unity among the people in the District for rapid development of the area. The Omanhene, who was addressing a durbar of chiefs and people at Manso-Nkwanta, also appealed to the people to invest more in their children's education to enable them to become useful citizens instead of using their little resources on unprofitable ventures.
