Telecel Ghana has joined the nation in mourning the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, as its Chief Executive, Patricia Obo-Nai, led a delegation of senior management to the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on Monday.
The team joined many institutions and associations to commiserate with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and express solidarity with the Asante Kingdom during the first day of the Dɔte Yie funeral rites.
Telecel Ghana also presented cash and assorted items to support the ceremonies.
Speaking after the presentation, Ing. Obo-Nai said the gesture was both a cultural duty and a heartfelt sign of respect for the Asantehene and the royal family. “
We recognise the Asantehemaa’s enduring legacy, and we share in the pain of the Asante Kingdom at this time,” she said.
The four-day rites, which began on Monday, have drawn traditional leaders, clergy, politicians, and corporate institutions from across Ghana to Kumasi to honour the memory of Nana Konadu Yiadom III, who served as mother of the Asante nation until her passing.
Telecel Ghana’s relationship with the Asante Kingdom spans years of collaboration.
The telecommunications company has sponsored the Asantehene Open golf tournament for eight consecutive years, expanded its reforestation initiative to the Ashanti Region with 3,000 indigenous trees at the South Formangso Forest Reserve, and paid regular courtesy calls on Otumfuo at the Manhyia Palace.
Its annual Ashanti Month celebration has also supported health screenings, local businesses, and cultural heritage events across the region.
