The Chief of Sefwi Aboduam, Nana Kwao Awuah II, has been called to the Ghana Bar at the recently held 61st Call To The Bar where newly accepted and certified lawyers were officially recognized.
Nana Kwao Awuah II, known privately as Prince Kwabena Aduhene, initially trained to obtain an HND in electrical and electronic engineering from the Takoradi Polytechnic. He joined the Electricity Company of Ghana as an officer and is currently a Manager in the utility distribution company, in charge of its Prampram District.
Nana Kwao Awuah II whose traditional area falls under Sefwi Wiawso Traditional Area in the Western North Region was enstooled as a divisional chief of Sefwi Aboduam on 3rd July 2014 started his law education at the Mountcrest University College in Accra after which he successfully got enrolled at the Ghana School of Law. Furthermore, he is also pursuing an MBA at the Central University College in Accra.
Beaming with smiles at the Call to the Bar ceremony, Mr. Aduhene, when asked what motivated him to become a Lawyer said that “I wanted to set myself as an example for the youth, especially, those in my community and traditional area, of the value of formal education and to encourage them to strive for academic excellence with plans to build themselves and their careers”. Additionally, he added that “a number of the youth are not pursuing higher education and that is worrying. So, if at my age, I am still going to school, I believe I can then use myself properly to encourage them to further their education”.
On his plans for adding law and becoming a Lawyer, Mr. Aduhene intimated that “every Chief traditionally presides over a group of people, and among other duties, one is expected to adjudicate on issues. With this formal legal background, in addition to the traditional knowledge I have, I believe they will come together in managing conflicts and related issues”.
Nana Kwao Awuah II was called to the Ghana Bar at the 11th October 2024 Call to the Bar ceremony in Accra.
