The Ga Manye, Naa Dedei Omaadru III, has cautioned the youth, particularly girls, against greed and love for quick money since these attributes had the tendency to lead them astray.
Rather, she said, they should take their education seriously to achieve greater heights in future.
Naa Omaadru gave the advice at a party she organised in her residence at Dansoman in Accra last Saturday to commemorate her 45th anniversary as a queen and her 75th birthday.
She donated items worth GH¢2,000 and an undisclosed amount of money to each of the 60 elderly men and women who attended the party.
Naa Omaadru expressed her determination to support brilliant but needy youth to further their education and acquire employable skills .
Already, she said, the Naa Omaadru Foundation, which she established, had provided support to some underprivileged people in society to earn a living.
The foundation, she said, had drawn up educational, health and women empowerment programmes for the aged and the youth in society to help improve their lives.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic, the Ga Manye said the occasion was to interact with the aged in society to help improve their livelihoods with the little support she could offer.
She, therefore, called on individuals and benevolent organisations to support her foundation as it lacked adequate financial support.
