He said, “Okada business should not be the limit for the youth because it is not a sustainable venture, I will appeal to the youth to aim high including the parents, the best thing they can give to their child is education.”

Queen-mother of Wassa Odumase, Nana Ampong Ekuah II also urged parents particularly mothers to invest in their wads Education rather than spending it on clothes.

She said, “Parents should spend their money on educating their kids rather than buying clothes for funerals, when they put in the effort to advise their children, they will listen and do the due diligence.”
