Nana Kwao Awuah II, the Chief of Sefwi Aboduam in the Sefwi Wiawso Traditional Area in the Western North Region, has been called to the Ghana Bar at the ’61st Call To The Bar’ ceremony, where newly accepted and certified lawyers were officially recognised.

Known in private life as Prince Kwabena Aduhene, Nana Awuah II, who is currently pursuing an MBA at the Central University College in Accra, initially trained to obtain an HND in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Takoradi Polytechnic, now the Takoradi Technical University.

Currently the ECG Manager in charge of Utility at the Prampram District of the Tema Region, Nana Kwao Awuah II, whose jurisdiction falls under the Sefwi Wiawso Traditional Area in the Western North Region, who was enstooled as a Divisional Chief of Sefwi Aboduam on July3,2014 started his law education at the Mountcrest University College in Accra.

He later enrolled at the Ghana School of Law.

Expressing his elation at this feat, Nana Awuah II told The Chronicle, “I wanted to set myself as an example for the youth, especially those in my community and traditional area, of the value of formal education and to encourage them to strive for academic excellence with plans to build themselves and their careers.

“A number of the youth are not pursuing higher education and that is worrying. So, if at my age, I am still going to school, I believe I can use myself properly to encourage them to further their education.”
With his new academic achievement as a lawyer, he added, “Every chief, traditionally, presides over a group of people, and among other duties, is expected to adjudicate on issues.

“With this formal legal background, in addition to the traditional knowledge I have, I will be able to manage conflicts and related issues in my traditional area.”
