Maulvi Khalib stressed the need for Muslim parents to educate their girls to enhance a better living standards for them in the future and commended them for their efforts at establishing a day-care centre at Techiman.

Nana Yaa Adutwumwaa, queenmother of Nkoranza Traditional area who was the guest speaker, urged the women to accord their husbands the required respect and to use good language when communicating with them.
