The Paramount Chief of Cape Coast, Osabarima Kwesi Atta II, appealed to the citizens of the ancient city to act as dedicated architects in shaping its future. He emphasized that by doing so, they would hold the destiny they desire and become part of the processes leading to its realization. This call came at the University of Cape Coast during the second fundraising event organized by the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly (CCMA) for the Eight-Year Development Plan of Cape Coast, formerly the national capital.
Addressing the gathering as the event's Chairman, Osabarima stated that the purpose of their meeting was to underscore that the development of Cape Coast is a shared responsibility. He urged the people to unite in their purpose, strengthen their partnerships, and be willing to contribute in their own ways to the city's progress.
The 8-Year Development Plan, which the event aimed to further fund, provided the people with an opportunity to collaborate with focus and determination towards a Cape Coast that would continue to inspire hope, opportunity, and progress for generations to come.
Osabarima, who is also the President of the Oguaa Traditional Council, highlighted the unity of purpose shown by his people, asserting that when people come together with a common vision, they can achieve remarkable things. He particularly welcomed the spirit of togetherness displayed at the second edition of the event. He called upon the youth of Cape Coast, especially those living in the diaspora, to continue seeing themselves as active partners in this journey, reminding them that Oguaa remains their home, heritage, and shared responsibility.
The 8-Year Development Plan, led by the Metropolitan Chief Executive, George Justice Arthur, focuses on improving infrastructure such as roads, water supply, sanitation, health services, and education. This plan serves as the blueprint for transforming Cape Coast. During the event, the University of Cape Coast pledged Fifty Thousand Cedis to support the initiative.
