He attributed his milestones to cordial Community relations, effective stakeholder engagement and the strong backing of families within the royal clan.
Looking into the future, he said, “In the future, it is my prayer that I can get Apremdoman
(Apremdo Community) a secondary school to foster education, particularly among the girl child”.
Nana Egya Kwamina XI also intended to build a befitting palace for the royal family with the support of companies and businesses operating in the area.
Nana Egya Kwamina XI, who was enstooled on 12th June 2008 by the Ebiradze Royal Family of Apremdo has initiated great projects to uplift the Apremdo community.
He gave out lands for the construction of a community clinic, the Municipal office complex for the Effia-Kwesimintsim Assembly, an ultra-modern Court complex and permanent office complexes for the Ghana National Fire Service, the Ambulance Service and currently the Ghana Police Service in the area.
Under his watch, Apremdo is now described by many as the Municipal Capital, housing many of the administrative arms of the Municipal Assembly.
His ascension on the throne has birthed some educational projects like the ultra-modern
Montessori school complex for the community with support from Dr Prince Armah, the Member
of Parliament for Effia Kwesimintsim.
Another milestone was the construction of a community centre to become an event hub for Town
hall meetings, weddings, funerals, and church activities, among others.
The community centre would also have a library at the ground floor, a computer room, and 16
guests’ rooms, including an office for the assembly member of the community and an office for
the Chief’s Secretary.
