ACCRA SHOPS AND OFFICES ARE TO CLOSE FOR 3 DAYS FOR QUEENMOTHER'S FUNERAL
Offices and shops in the Central Business District in the Greater Accra Region are expected to close down for three days to make way for the final funeral rights of the late Ga Manye, the Paramount Queen of Ga State, HRM Naa Dedei Omaedru III.
“From the 27th to the 29th of October, we expect shops and offices in the Central Business District to remain closed,” said Lady Justice Naa-Yarlay Adjei Amoah, Chief of Staff at the office of the Ga Mantse.
Justice Amoah, who doubles as the Secretary to the Central Funeral Planning Committee of the late Ga Manye, added that “We also expect them to decorate their business premises with black and red drippings”.
The various markets are also to drip all their surroundings in black and red because “we are mourning together, it’s not just the palace so we are respectfully calling on all to cooperate with us in this time of grief.”
Lady Justice Amoah made this known when a delegation from Jospong Group of Companies led by Mrs. Adokarley Okpoti-Paulo, Group Financial Controller for Environmental & Sanitation Group/ Finance Director of Zoomlion Ghana Limited signed the book of condolence at the Ga Traditional Council on Friday September 8, 2023.
