Leadership and youth of Zongo communities have been advised to prioritize education as a way to sustain development.
Otumfuo Asanteman Zongo Nkosuohene, Sarki Alhaji Abdulai Ali Barry, while addressing a durbar of Muslim communities over the weekend to mark the 16th annual Gargajiya Festival at the Jubilee Park in Kumasi, stressed the need to prioritise education to improve their livelihood.
The celebration of the 16th Anniversary of the Annual Gargajiya Festival was organized by the Zongo Youth Association under the auspices of Asanteman Zongo Nkosuohene.
The occasion witnessed the performance of various traditional dances by the Muslim communities including, Chocosi, Grunshie, Sisala, Mamprusi, Frafra and the Yorubas, among others.
Sarki Ali Barry pointed out that unlike former times when education received less attention in Zongo communities, the enclave can now boast of professionals like Doctors, Engineers and Lecturers, among others.
He, therefore, charged parents to make education a major focal point in the upbringing of their children.
OtumfuoNsumankwahene, Baffour Asabere Kogyawuasu III who represented the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, reiterated the educational transformation in the Zongo communities.
He, however, deplored the reckless operation of rickshaws (Pragia) within the Kumasi Metropolis and called for compliance of road and traffic regulations to forestall sanity on our streets.
