According to the chief, the town is deprived of job opportunities to meet the growing levels of unemployment among the youth.

In addition to this, he said there is no tarred road linking his town to other districts for farmers to be able to trade their produce.

He urged the government to expedite action on the One-District-One-Factory project currently ongoing in the district and furnish the facility with the requisite machinery to become useful and serve the intended purpose of securing jobs for the youth.

He commended the Assembly for having commenced work in earnest for the reshaping of untarred roads in the town.

For her part, Mrs Marigold Assan, the Central Regional Minister, expressed her happiness that the Abura State has finally gotten a paramount chief, adding that this will help the state development.

She also noted that President Akufo-Addo's government has Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese at heart and there are a lot of plans for the chiefs and people of AAK.

The coronation brought people from all walks of life including Nananom, politicians, and the clergy among others.
