He advised the chiefs to be politically neutral and contribute to the national development agenda.

Mr. Buah appealed to the chiefs to support education in the area to enable the people in Nzema take advantage of the opportunities that the oil find and mining would offer the country, to improve upon their living conditions.

Awulae Kpanyinli pledged that he would collaborate with the Traditional Council to ensure peace and unity for the progress of the area.
