Accra: Osagyefo Oseadeyo Agyemang Badu II, the Paramount Chief of Dormaa Traditional Area, has granted approval for the construction of a modern worship centre at his Abanpredease Palace in Dormaa-Ahenkro in the Bono Region: The Dormaa-Ahenkro Local Council of Churches (LCC) is set to fund and oversee the construction of this worship centre, which aims to provide a dedicated space for the Paramount Chief and his subjects to gather for worship.
According to Ghana News Agency, Reverend Seth Twum Barimah, the Chairman of the LCC, announced this development at a three-day crusade in Dormaa-Ahenkro. The event, themed 'Dormaaman for Christ', was organized in collaboration with the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC). Rev. Barimah emphasized the importance of the worship centre as a communal space for clergy gatherings, facilitating fellowship and spiritual communion at the palace.
Rev. Barimah, who also leads the Dormaa-Ahenkro Christian Praise International Church (CPIC), has been actively working to attract investors to the area. He highlighted the potential of the Dormaa land, which is rich in gold and other minerals. "Mining these resources will create jobs for the unemployed youth, thereby enhancing the economic livelihoods of families, communities, and the nation," Rev. Barimah stated.
He further noted that research indicates the Dormaa area is significantly endowed with precious mineral deposits. Therefore, he urged support for government efforts to attract investors. The event concluded with Rev. Barimah leading prayers for the nation, focusing on economic development and prosperity.
