The Queen Mother of Yamfo Traditional Area, Nana Darkowaa Ampem Kyerewaa II, paid a courtesy call on former President John Agyekum Kufuor at his residence.

During the visit, the young traditional ruler briefed the former president on her foundation's initiatives to empower women and girls in her traditional area and beyond.

The visit was symbolic as it allowed the revered statesman to recount his visits to the traditional area during his reign as the President of the Republic of Ghana. As a supporter of causes that promote the welfare of women and girls, former President Kufuor offered some counsel to Nana Darkowaa Ampem Kyerewaa II and urged her to take the issues of women and girls seriously since women and girls are in the majority and their empowerment bodes well for the greater society.
