The District Director of the NCCE, Mr. Kwadwo Adu-Asare was the guest speaker on the program, and he took the opportunity to educate the populace on the relevance of Constitution Week.
Mr. Adu-Asare emphasized the importance of citizens understanding their rights and responsibilities, promoting accountability, and upholding the rule of law as some of the democratic credentials of having a constitution. He noted that the constitution is the supreme law of the land and that its provisions should guide the actions and decisions of all citizens.
The radio host, Mr. Nana Addo, praised the NCCE’s efforts in promoting civic engagement despite the challenges it faces. He commended the district office for its commitment to sensitizing citizens on the importance of constitutional awareness.
