(Ga Mantse advises youth against over-indulgence in alcohol)

The Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Tawiah III, has advised the youth to drink responsibly especially during the celebration of this year’s Homowo festival.
He said the excessive intake of alcohol could be harmful to their health and the development of their future.
The Ga Mantse gave the advice when the management of Accra Brewery Limited (ABL) presented 60 cartons of assorted drinks produced by their company and an undisclosed amount of money to the Ga Traditional Council for the celebration of this year’s Homowo festival.
The items were received on behalf of the Ga Mantse by Nii Okaija III at the Mantse’s palace at North Kaneshie in Accra yesterday.
He advised the youth to drink quality beverages and commended ABL for producing quality drinks.
Presenting the items, the Managing Director of ABL, Mr Greg Metcalf, said the donation was in fulfilment of the company’s pledge to support the Ga Traditional Council to organise a successful festival this year.
He wished the Ga Traditional Council a successful celebration and expressed his hope that the items would be of great benefit to them.
The Gbese Mantse, Nii Okaija III, who received the items on behalf of the Ga Mantse expressed his appreciation to the ABL and called on other organisations to emulate the gesture.
