In a bid to promote progress and development within the Ga state, the Amartse We Manye of the Asere Division of the Ga State, Naa Amorkor Shikafuturo I, has reaffirmed her commitment to fostering community development, particularly through education and skills training.
She emphasized the importance of equipping young people with valuable skills to enhance their lives stressing that fostering skill development among the youth is vital for both personal growth and the overall progress of the community.
Naa Amorkor Shikafuturo I, a passionate advocate for progress in the Ga state made the remarks at a free hairstyling outreach organised by Mikesh Global at Akoto Lante, a suburb of Accra.
The initiative aimed at promoting self-care and boosting confidence among residents and providing accessible grooming services, particularly for those who may not afford regular hairstyling.
Speaking at the event, Naa Amorkor Shikafuturo I, commended Mikesh Global for its free hairstyling outreach, describing it as a vital step toward community empowerment and youth development.
“Last February, I launched the Girl Power Project to drive development, focusing primarily on girls while also including 20% boys. Skill-building, like hairstyling, is key to empowering our youth of today, we see both boys and girls actively participating in this transformative initiative.” She said.
According to her, true leadership is about influencing others and making a positive impact in the community.
“Leadership is not about titles or positions, but about one individual influencing another. Today, we are making that impact. We want everyone to feel valued. She noted.
Naa Amorkor Shikafuturo I, expressed her enthusiasm for development, particularly in education and skill-building, and encouraged everyone to support initiatives, stressing that the goal is not competition but collective growth and belonging.
“Why wouldn’t I support such an initiative? This is a moment for people to feel rejuvenated, a sense of belonging, and love. The best way to show that love is through our actions,” she added.
On her part, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Mikeh Crown Salon and Mikeh Crown Global, Rahael Korkor Doku, underscored the company’s commitment to empowering individuals to embrace their natural identity.
She explained that the organisation’s mission goes beyond providing hair services, aiming also to promote a holistic approach to natural living. This, she noted, includes not only hair care but also the appreciation of natural fabrics and fashion styles.
“At Mikesh Global, we believe in celebrating and valuing our natural heritage. Your natural hair is your crowning glory, so it is important to keep it free from chemicals and maintain its beauty in its pure form.” She said.
