Her Royal Majesty also advised the pupils, particularly girls, to pursue education diligently and avoid early pregnancy, warning that such setbacks could derail their dreams and aspirations. “Bring glory to your parents by taking your education seriously and staying away from premarital sex,” she urged.
Dr. Nana Ama Amissah III also emphasized the importance of hygiene among children and youth, calling on both boys and girls to maintain good personal hygiene for their overall well-being. She commended the teachers of Eyisam Methodist Basic School and others in the community for their dedication and commitment to shaping a brighter future for the children.
In a strong message to community elders, she called for an end to the inflow of harmful drugs into the country, warning that drug abuse is contributing significantly to rising crime among Ghanaian youth. “Without proper control over what we introduce into our society, we risk losing an entire generation of potential leaders,” she cautioned.
