A corporate guy just swapped his suit for a chief's stool. Dr. Ben Asante, previously the head of Ghana Gas, was formally installed as the paramount chief for the Juansa traditional area in the Ashanti Region. He now carries the traditional name Nana Kwaku Dankwah Opamago Kodie II, following his predecessor. The installation ceremony followed Asante customs and gathered local rulers, elders, and community residents.
His selection was driven by a record of public service and projects supporting education and job creation in the area. Elders described him as a development-focused leader. In his acceptance, he thanked the kingmakers and people of Juansa while honoring the previous chief's work. The new paramount chief promised to prioritize unity, education, and youth employment.
He pledged to use his professional background to bring investment and partnerships to the traditional area. According to custom, he will swear an oath of allegiance before the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. Sub chiefs have already promised their support for his leadership. They urged natives and development partners to collaborate with the traditional council to push progress forward.
