Otumfuo Champions Education in Uganda
THE ASANTEHENE, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, insists Africans can secure total development only if the continent properly educates its people.
He has consequently entreated African leaders to invest and also give education the maximum attention so that the continent can overcome its challenges.
According to the Asante Monarch, poverty, ignorance and diseases now remain the major enemies of the Africa continent which need to be tackled with urgency.
Otumfuo was of the conviction that it is only through proper education of the youth that adverse poverty, diseases and ignorance can be defeated.
“The only enemies we all have to fight are poverty, ignorance and diseases and the only weapons we need to fight these enemies are education, education and education.
“That is the challenge we all face and the goal we should pursue, and ethnic rivalry should have no place in the process”, the Asantehene stressed.
Otumfuo was speaking during a traditional durbar to mark the 25th anniversary of the enstoolment of Kabaka of Buganda Kingdom, Roland Muwenda Mutebi II.
The ceremony was characterized by the playing of traditional drums from both the Asante and Buganda Kingdoms.
