The maiden edition of Ghana Chieftaincy Awards comes off this Saturday 30th November, 2019.

The award ceremony will focus on traditional leaders who over the year brought more developmental projects and innovative ideas in helping better the lives of the lots in their respective communities.

Speaking in an interview with WestAfrica 24, the Chief Executive Officer of N.O.D Foundation, Nana Otu Darko, the organizers of the awards, said Chiefs are seen as the major development agents who released lands for projects to take place.

He noted that with the polarization and disunity among Ghanaians, the awards will bring the Chiefs together and the citizenry as well.

Nana Otu Darko noted that the traditional rulers are there to bring peace in their communities ensuring the peaceful coexistence among people and group.

He also uses the opportunity to appeal to chiefs and settlers on stool lands to unite and foster development in their communities.

Nana Otu Darko asked traditional rulers to foster unity and understanding to facilitate rapid development.

Chiefs from all the regions as well as the sector Minister will grace the maiden edition of Ghana Chieftaincy awards.
