"The challenges we face are rooted in greed and self-seeking attitudes, which only divide us and hinder our collective growth," the chief remarked, calling for a change in the current mindset.

He encouraged the people of Akatsavakpor and the larger Klikor traditional area to embrace positive changes in their attitudes and take charge of their own destinies. Torgbi Korkudjaah Boafo-Tamakloe advocated for community-driven self-help projects aimed at achieving economic freedom.
