Mr Quattara advised that the demands and pressure at work, as well as from family and society, necessitated the need for all to be conscious of their health and wellbeing.
Mr David Nar-Ire Puobenyere, the Dormaa Municipal Coordinating Director said, “Let his death serve as a reminder and a lesson to all of us that we don’t own our individual lives, and if God decides to call you back home there’s nothing you can do,” he stated.
