Africa-Press – Ghana. The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has handed over a 1.12-acre parcel of land for the establishment of a law school in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital.
The gesture demonstrates the Asantehene’s commitment to advancing legal education and empowering future legal professionals in the region. It also reflects his visionary leadership and belief in education as a driver of societal progress.
Nana Samba Gyafla, Omanhene of the Sampa Traditional Area, who presented the land documents on behalf of the Asantehene to the General Legal Council in Kumasi, said the provision of the land sets the stage for constructing a state-of-the-art facility to serve as a hub for legal studies in Ghana.
He said the initiative would enable aspiring lawyers to access quality education and training that would prepare them to make meaningful contributions to Ghana’s legal system.
According to Nana Gyafla, the impact of the Asantehene’s initiative goes beyond the construction of a building—it marks a new era in legal education in the Ashanti Region, with the potential to raise standards and nurture a new generation of legal professionals.
He described the land allocation as a strategic investment in the future of the legal profession, saying it would ensure that students have access to the facilities and resources necessary to enrich their learning experience and succeed in their careers.
“This bold move not only addresses the growing demand for legal education but also signals a progressive approach towards enhancing the legal infrastructure in Ghana,” he added.
