In a durbar of chiefs marking the 2026 celebration of the "Meko Bono" festival in Atebubu, she urged the people to preserve their cultural heritage and transform it into job opportunities for the youth.
The "Bonoman" is significant in Ghana's historical narrative, and festivals of this nature should be leveraged for tourism, investment, and local economic development, said the Vice President.

She highlighted the potential in executing the government's 24-hour economy and Feed Ghana programme, emphasizing the importance of enhancing agro-processing, transport, and logistics to spur socio-economic growth.
Implementing the "Big Push" road infrastructure program could connect farming communities to urban markets, advancing economic growth, according to the Vice President.
