Further, Alhaji Habib Sualah Saeed announced plans to partner with non-governmental organizations and other development-oriented institutions to bring social and economic interventions to the community. These collaborations, he explained, would focus on education, youth empowerment, infrastructure development, and creating job opportunities for the youth.
Mr. Sulaman Sharif Iddris, representing the Ashanti Regional Zongo Chief at the ceremony, congratulated the newly enstooled Chief and urged him to lead with wisdom, humility, and dedication. He encouraged Alhaji Habib Sualah Saeed to place strong emphasis on education and youth employment, stressing that these priorities are critical to addressing the socio-economic challenges facing Zongo communities across the region.
The enstoolment ceremony was attended by traditional leaders, Zongo elders, youth groups, and residents of Ɛkyɛm, all of whom expressed optimism that the new Chief’s leadership would usher in a new era of unity, progress, and sustainable development for the community.
