His words resonated with the audience, reinforcing the idea that development is a shared responsibility that requires the active participation of both leaders and citizens.
National Chairman Asiedu Nketia echoed these sentiments, highlighting the NDC’s commitment to supporting grassroots initiatives. He expressed confidence that the completion of the durbar grounds would not only enhance community gatherings but also boost local tourism and economic activities. “When we invest in our communities, we empower our people,” he said, inspiring those present to take pride in their heritage and actively participate in community development.
Nana Osabarima Debra Adjei II, in receiving the donation, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the NDC and its leaders. He acknowledged the significance of their contribution in facilitating the completion of the durbar grounds and reaffirmed the traditional council’s commitment to preserving the cultural identity of Seikwa.

The event also served as a platform for community engagement, as residents shared their hopes and aspirations for the future of Seikwa. Many expressed their desire for more initiatives that promote cultural education, youth empowerment, and economic development. The donation, therefore, symbolized more than just financial support; it represented a shared vision for a thriving community.
