 Radio Broadcaster and Event Organizer, Nana Kwame Owusu
Nkwantabisa popularly known as Nana Kay—has called on all stakeholders to put
up pragmatic measures in place to reduce the alarming rate of teenage
pregnancies in the Brong Ahafo region.

According to him, it is a wake up call for institutions like
the social welfare to implement strategic measures and intensive educational
programs to help cramp down the reported cases of teenage pregnancy in the
region.

He lamented that social welfare has failed to execute the
mandate and it’s a cause for concern.

“I’m very sad to hear this report and I think authorities
should wake up from their sleep and do something about it immediately,” he told
Mr. Lattus on J.Life FM’s Entertainment Chart Show.

When asked if events and gigs being held in the region have
a hand in the development, Nana K said: “Oh my brother, that can’t be the
issue. The situation in Accra and Kumasi is not alarming like here…and how many
events do we organize here as compare to those places. Something is wrong somewhere
and I will shift all the blame on Social Welfare. They should be up and doing.”

He said events and gigs have nothing to do with issue at
hand.

Nana Kwame urged Social Welfare and all other stakeholders
to partner with event organizers in the region and map up educational programs
for teenagers in the region.

“We need to come together and mastermind on how to curb this
menace. Social Welfare could safe situations if they partner with event
organizers and also step out to these teenagers in the various schools.”

He posited that Social Welfare has remained dormant in the
region.
