An 11-year-old primary four pupil of Adomanu Roman Catholic Primary
School has been installed chief linguist at a well-attended ceremony at
Adansi Adomanu in the Adansi-North District of Ashanti.
His stool name is Nana Akyina Kwarteng II.
Known in private life as Yaw Kwarteng by his parents and Christian
Adjapong by his schoolmates, the new chief linguist succeeded Nana
Takyi, who was installed at the age of 14 but passed on a year ago
after serving for 38 years as Adomanuhene’s chief linguist.
It was a memorable occasion at the Adomanu palace as a large
crowd, made up of chiefs, old men and women and schoolchildren,
witnessed the teenager swearing the oath of allegiance to the
Adomanuhene, Nana Asirifi Asare II.
Nana Asirifi Asare advised the new chief linguist to take keen
interest in his education, as well as his “ new position as chief
linguist”.
The Adomanuhene stressed that “at your tender age, you should not
take pride in your traditional position to the neglect of your
academic pursuit”.
Nana Asirifi Asare gave the fullest assurance that Nananom would
join hands with his parents to sponsor his education to the height
that he wanted to reach.
He, however, warned Nana Akyina Kwarteng II not to be following any
sub chief to a function of which he was not aware because “you are my
chief linguist and not to any sub chief”.
Nana Akyina Kwarteng II in a short message thanked the traditional
leaders for the honour done him and pledged to serve the chiefs and
people with devotion.
