With Nana Adwoa Afranewaa III’s enstoolment, the Offinso Traditional Area looks forward to a new era of peace, progress, and prosperity.

“We are delighted to have Nana Adwoa Afranewaa III as our new Queen Mother. Her experience and wisdom will undoubtedly benefit our traditional area,” said Offinsohene Nana Dwamena Akenteng II.

– Promote cultural heritage and preservation
