Dangme Traditional Leaders Contributing to Ghana’s Development 🇬🇭

HRM Manyɛ Nana Amponsah Dokua III, the Paramount Queen Mother of the Osudoku Traditional Area and a member of the Gender Ministry Advisory Board, recently joined the Min. for Gender, Children and Social Protection and other officials on a School Feeding Programme monitoring exercise in the Greater Accra Region.

The monitoring team visited schools to assess whether meals served to pupils were nutritious, safe, and fit for purpose. The exercise forms part of ongoing efforts to ensure that children receive healthy meals that support their learning, growth, and overall well-being.

This is one example of how Dangme traditional leaders contribute beyond their traditional areas, using their leadership, experience, and expertise to support national development and improve the lives of Ghanaians.

As part of our commitment to promoting the Dangme Traditional Areas, we will continue to highlight the achievements and national contributions of our traditional leaders. Their service reminds us that Dangme leadership continues to play an important role in Ghana’s development.

We celebrate HRM Manyɛ Nana Amponsah Dokua III and all Dangme traditional leaders who continue to serve with distinction, bringing honour to the Dangme Traditional Areas and contributing to Ghana’s progress.

HELP ME FIND MY MOTHER

My name is Theodora, and I am 26 years old. I am searching for my biological mother, Hannah Koomson (born 30 May 1975), whom I have not seen since I was just two years old.

According to the information my father gave me, my mother lived in Achimota, Accra, with her mother and stepfather. My grandmother is Mari Aidoo, originally from Plassou, near Kumasi, and my late grandfather was Samuel Koomson, a former sailor from Takoradi. My father is Adagra Théodore. My parents lived together from 1998 to 2002, and my mother left on 7 June 2002, my birthday.

The photos attached are the only photographs I have of my mother. Although they are old, I hope someone will recognise her and help us reconnect.

If my mother sees this, I want her to know that I would love the opportunity to reconnect with her.

If you know Hannah Koomson or have any genuine information that could help me find her, please send ADOLF NOMO a private message. Kindly do not post personal addresses or phone numbers in the comments to protect everyone’s privacy.

Please share this post. One share could help reunite a mother and daughter after more than two decades.

As a Dangme Unity Advocate, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to HRM Nɛnɛ Tetteh Wakah III, Paramount Chief of the Gbugbla (Prampram) Traditional Area and President of the Prampram Traditional Council, and everyone involved in inviting HRM Nɛnɛ Kweku Otiti Animle VII, Paramount Chief of the Osudoku Traditional Area, to serve as Chairperson and Special Guest of Honour at the launch of the Prampram Homowo Festival 2026.

Gestures like this bring the Dangme Traditional Areas one step closer to the vision of a more united Dangme.

Thank you once again for this inspiring example of leadership and unity.
