These initiatives aim to foster respect for authority, address foundational societal issues, promote transgenerational thinking, and mentor the younger generation.

During his speech, Antwi highlighted the importance of these projects in achieving societal progress and honoring individuals who have positively impacted their communities. “Our goal is to secure tomorrow today by addressing foundational issues and preparing the younger generation to take over the baton of responsibility,” he said.
