President John Dramani Mahama has extended both financial and employment support to the courageous youth of Sikaman Brofoyedru who played a critical role in responding to the recent helicopter crash.
Representing Mr. Mahama, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, presented ¢100,000 to the responders in recognition of their bravery and sacrifices in retrieving the remains of the victims.
“As a party and as a government in waiting, we cannot overlook the sacrifices of these gallant young men,” Mr. Asiedu Nketia said. “On behalf of President Mahama, I present this ¢100,000 and also assure you of job opportunities for the yeoman’s job you have done.”
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, also commended the responders, describing their efforts as exceptional.
“You have shown courage and a spirit of sacrifice that must be celebrated. What you did was not just for your community but for the nation,” he noted.
Speaking on behalf of the Adansihene, Nana Omono Asamoah Agyei II, Chief of Adokwai, expressed gratitude to the delegation for acknowledging the community’s role.
“We thank the regional and national leadership for this recognition. The people of Sikaman Brofoyedru have indeed proven their dedication in times of tragedy,” he said.
The chief went on to appeal for urgent infrastructural development in the area.
“We urge the government to expedite the completion of major roads and projects within the Adansi enclave. Development here will not only honour our sacrifices but also improve lives,” he added.
