Drobo (B/A) Jan. 29 GNA - Nana Yaa Ansuaa, Queenmother of Drobo Traditional area in Jaman South District of Brong-Ahafo has advised parents to invest in the education of their children, especially the girl child.

Addressing a meeting of sub-queenmothers in Jaman South District, Nana Ansuaa said the education of their children, "who are our most important assets", was their best investment.

"Through quality education, our children would become the country's future doctors, scientists, teachers and distinguished men of God, among others.
