The Center for National Culture (CNC), in collaboration with the Asante Akim North Municipal Assembly, has organised a cloth-wearing Clinic, at the Konongo Assembly Hall, for heads of departments, agencies and institutions.

Nana Kwadwo Nketia, a Resource Person from the Centre for National Culture, Kumasi, taught participants how to wear their cloths for the various occasions.

Nana Nketia mentioned different types of cloth wearing such as "Konfanko Akyemfo, Asikafoambantem, Me wë me biribi di, Dwabeng Anantuo, Ako Dua, and many more. He advised Ghanaians to let culture reflect in our national development agenda.

Nana Nketia suggested the study of culture in our schools, saying an Act of Parliament to enforce this, would be in the right direction.

The Municipal Cultural Officer of the Asante Akim North District Assembly, Mr. Kofi Obeng Onyina, noted that Ghanaian culture was dwindling, due to cultural adulteration westernisation and urbanisation, hence the need for cultural rejuvenation to promote, create and sustain the positive values.

He assured such clinics would be organised periodically, to educate the citizenry on some of the cultural values, and help maintain unique cultural identity and values as tools for preservation, exhibition, and enhancement of our national heritage and economic development.

The Cultural Officer disclosed that the Municipal Assembly had released a land at Nyaboo, for the siting of the cultural village, where the youth would be trained in the Ghanaian culture.

Mr. Obeng Onyina advised the people to keep their environment clean, because it formed part of our cultural heritage.

He urged the youth to desist from indecent dressing, saying it was not of Ghanaian culture for the youth, especially girls, to expose certain parts of their bodies in public.

The Principal Personnel Officer in the Asante Akim North Municipality, Mr. Emmanuel Kobi, thanked the organisers of the programme, which he said, was educative.

He suggested that the exercise should be carried to the various schools and organisations, to ensure that the Ghanaian culture is maintained and sustained from generation to generation.
