Nana Amoah, who was paraded in a palanquin through the town, later swore the Oath of Allegiance to her people and kingmakers. In an address, Nana Amoah said she would work tirelessly to unite the youth and the elderly people in the area and mobilise them to devote their time, energy and resources towards the development of the area. She said environmental sanitation and the education of young girls on the HIV/AIDS pandemic would engage her serious attention.
