Esieninpong (Ash), Jan. 7, GNA - A chief has appealed to traditional rulers and kingmakers to identify and document their customs, traditions and succession lines to ensure that future succession to stools were done peacefully.

They should also bring children who are part of the royal family and eligible to ascend their stools closer to them to learn customs and traditions.

Nana Kwaku Bio, Chief of Esieninpong in the Ejisu-Juaben District, said this at a New Year reception he organised for children on Friday. He said children needed to be taught their traditions and culture in order to prepare them adequately to take up positions in a responsible manner.

Nana Bio appealed to traditional rulers to show good traditional practices and inculcate in their children good moral values and norms in their area to shape their minds for the future. He advised the children to be humble, obedient and respectful to their leaders and cultivate the spirit of patriotism in order to contribute to the development of their communities. The chief also urged parents in the town to take key interest in the education of their children. He later presented food items to the Final Solution Orphanage Foundation in the town.
