Takoradi-based business woman enstooled Nkosuohemaa of Nsuta Bonkrong
Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah
There is a saying that “a delivering woman is not given a crown until the placenta is out”.
So will the selfless and dedicated service rendered by a Takoradi-based business woman would have been in vain if the elders, opinion leaders and people of Nsuta Bonkrong in the Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana had not whole-heartedly appreciated her efforts towards the development of the area.
In light of her philanthropism, Mrs. Theresa Amoh-Yeboah has been enstooled Nkosuohemaa (Development Queen) of Nsuta Bonkrong with stool name, Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I.
The honour bestowed on her buttresses the point of honouring hardworking personalities while they are living rather than giving them posthumous recognition.
Altruism has propelled Mrs. Amoh-Yeboah to her present position as the development queen of her area.
Just as there is a good woman behind every successful man, so there is a very responsible, humble and tolerant man behind every successful woman.
There is no gainsaying that Nana Frimponmaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah and her better half, Mr. Justice Amoh-Yeboah, President of JUSTMOH Construction Limited, one of Ghana’s leading construction firms whose project execution cannot be questioned in relation to quality delivery, have lived up to expectation and deserve praises.
The colourful ceremony which was well attended by people from all walks of life including traditional rulers, business executives, friends of the Nkosuohemaa and the husband, saw rich display of Ashanti tradition and culture.
Also in attendance were the clergy from various denominations who were there to support and show appreciation to Nana Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I who has over the years supported community and church activities.
She swore the Oath of Allegiance to the Acting President of the Nsutaman Traditional Council, Nananom and the people to signify her acceptance of the position accorded her and to abide by the rules, regulations and responsibilities that go with her position as the Nkosuohemaa , which is not only to facilitate the development of Nsuta Bonkrong alone but the entire Sekyere Central District.
A grand durbar was held in her honour where she was presented to the world to begin her journey and work.
DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
The Nsuta Bonkrong Nkosuohemaa who is people-centred and has a soft spot for the underprivileged in society has established the MAMA THESS Foundation as a special purpose vehicle for her philanthropic programmes. One of the priority areas of the Foundation is investment in girl-child education. A number of young girls in both Takoradi where she plies her business and Nsuta Bonkrong, her home town, have benefitted greatly from her generosity and are in school where she caters for all their needs to enable them access quality education and reach their goals. Teenage pregnancy is another concern of the Nkosuohemaa as she has devoted a lot of time, energy and resources to curb this canker.
SUPPORT FOR THE CHURCH
Being a devout Christian, she has collaborated with the husband to invest in the construction of the Nsuta Bonkrong Anglican Church, a project which started in 2007 to give a befitting place of worship to the Anglican Congregation. She has supported other church projects and the construction of a prayer centre at Adansi Kusa.
Love for children
As a responsible mother, she has extended her love not only to her biological children but also to the underprivileged children with special needs as well as orphans. It is, therefore, not surprising that, she is the Honorary Mother of the Twin- City Special School where she ensures the children are well catered for. The Kejebil Children’s Home in the Ahanta West Municipality in the Western Region is another beneficiary of her generous contribution to the well-being of children. She makes annual donations to the orphanage.
MOTIVATION
Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I has further indicated that, being blessed by the Almighty God makes it imperative for her to be a blessing to the have-nots.
“I have reached where I am by God’s grace and I can only show my appreciation to God by helping others.
“I will continue to do all I can to help as many people as I can so far as I have the strength with the help of my Maker”, she has stressed.
SUPPORT BASE
Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I who is married to Mr Justice Amoh, the President of Justmoh Construction Limited counts her husband as the strength and inspiration behind her work.
“He has always stood by me and pushed me to do more even when the going was tough. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my husband for standing by me from day one since I embarked on this philanthropic journey” she said.
FUTURE
She has promised to do more in her power as the new Nkosuohemaa to bring more development to her people and commended, Nana Osei Bosompem III, the Adako Jachiehene and Acting President of the Nsutaman Traditional Council, Nana Tutuwaa III, Adako Jachiehemaa, Nana Aboagye Sakyi, Nsuta Bonkrong Odikro, the chiefs, elders and people for the trust reposed in her and assured of working to meet their expectations.
Nana Amoh-Yeboah I has appealed to all Ghanaians to do the little they can to help better the lives of the unprivileged.
JUSTICE AMOH
Mr Justice Amoh who was obviously enthused about the elevation of his wife to the position was seen with her throughout the ceremony and promised to continue to stand by her in her new role to impact more lives.
HOUSE 2 FRATERNITY (H2F)
Mr Amoh affectionately referred to as “Uncle Justmoh” is also one of the patrons of the H2F and despite his busy schedule, participates actively in the fraternity’s activities. It was, therefore, not out of place that the administrator of H2F, Esther Eduwah Hagan led a team from Takoradi to support the grand enstoolment of Mrs Theresa Amoh-Yeboah as the Nkosuohemaa of Nsuta Bonkrong in the Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti Region.

The Dzidula Pink Foundation, a new organisation dedicated to cancer awareness, early detection, and patient support, has been officially launched in Accra, with a passionate call for national commitment to fighting the disease. The launch event, held last week Friday, carried the theme: “Beyond the diagnosis: A future of restoration, care and courage.”
Speaking at the event, Madam Abena Brigidi, founder and CEO of Nimed Capital Limited, emphasised that cancer remains one of the most devastating health challenges facing families across the country. “Cancer does not discriminate—it affects mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons. It drains families emotionally and financially, and behind every statistic is a human story and a future suddenly thrown into uncertainty,” she said.
Sharing her personal encounters with cancer, having lost both her husband and father to the disease, Madam Brigidi highlighted the emotional, financial, and physical scars left behind. “I stand here not just as a speaker, but as a witness to what cancer can take away,” she stated. “I have watched loved ones fight bravely, and I have felt the deep pain that loss leaves behind.”
She stressed that awareness and early detection are critical to reducing deaths, noting that many Ghanaians still lack access to proper screening, reliable information, and adequate treatment. She appealed to healthcare professionals, corporate institutions, policymakers, the media, and the general public to join hands in the fight. “Early detection saves lives. Your support today can lead to someone’s healing tomorrow,” she said.
Madam Brigidi further called for collective responsibility to sustain the foundation’s mission. “To our medical professionals, we need your expertise. To corporate partners, your resources. To the media, your voice. To policymakers, your support. And to the public, your compassion,” she urged. She also insisted that breast cancer awareness should not be limited to annual campaigns, saying, “Breast cancer awareness must not be seasonal.”
Mrs Diana Fafa Gozo, founder of the Dzidula Pink Foundation, shared her own cancer journey, describing the shock of diagnosis, the fear that followed, and the difficult path through treatment. Her experience transformed her pain into purpose and inspired her to create a foundation to ensure no cancer patient walks alone.
Mrs Gozo explained that many patients struggle not only with treatment costs but also with emotional resilience. She outlined the foundation’s initiatives, which include awareness and early detection campaigns, patient support funds, community outreach, and survival support circles. “This foundation is my offering of gratitude, courage, and compassion and a reminder that no one should walk the cancer journey alone,” she concluded.

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) says it will deploy teams of Public Health Officers, members of its Sanitation Taskforce, and labourers, including sweepers and janitors, across all sub-metros to support the third National Sanitation Day exercise.
It explained that these teams will be equipped with waste collection trucks, tippers, and other tools to help with desilting, refuse collection, and transporting waste to approved disposal sites.
The AMA reminded residents that failing to comply with the sanitation directive or refusing to participate in communal labour is an offence.
It said offenders risk a fine of up to 100 penalty units, imprisonment between 30 days and six months, or both, with repeat offenders liable to additional daily penalties.
It urged all residents, traders, transport operators, market women, shop owners, landlords, tenants, and businesses to actively participate in the exercise.
The AMA said it counts on everyone’s collective responsibility to keep Accra clean, liveable, and resilient, especially as the city approaches Christmas and the New Year.
