On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, the Bono Regional Minister, Hon. Joseph Addae Akwaboa, hosted a breakfast meeting with a cross-section of distinguished members of the clergy from the Bono Region. The meeting served as a platform for meaningful engagement on matters of regional development, peace, and collaboration.

Hon. Akwaboa acknowledged the significant role religious leaders play in both community and national development, expressing appreciation for their spiritual guidance and moral influence within society. He solicited their continued prayers and valuable insights on addressing the developmental needs of the region.

During the meeting, the Minister encouraged all stakeholders involved in chieftaincy matters to resolve disputes through appropriate and established channels. He emphasized the importance of preserving cultural heritage while promoting peace and stability.
