In Tema, more than 200 senior citizens in the metropolis were feted by the Tema Metropolitan Assembly, reports Benjamin Xornam Glover.

The senior citizens were treated to a sumptuous lunch and quality highlife tunes by A.B. Crentsil, one of Ghana’s most prolific highlife artistes, backed by the Matts Band.

The Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, Mr Felix Nii Annang Mensah-La, said the event was also part of efforts by the assembly to compensate senior citizens in the metropolis for their hard work which had led the city’s growth.

“We recognise the efforts and contributions you have made to the development of Tema and Ghana in general and we are very grateful to you. We do not have opportunity often to bring you all together to say thank you. As a nation, we are proud of your contributions,” he said.
