U.S. Ambassador Visits BMC & NaYiri

This past weekend, we were honored to have the United States Ambassador Robert Jackson visit BMC and the paramount chief here in Nalerigu.

BMC doctors and hospital matron Mr. Yiddi gave the ambassador and his entourage a tour of the hospital facilities. Following, the Ambassador had a private meal with Americans who live in East Mamprusi District. The meal was hosted by Francis Ackom of the George Faile Foundation.

Finally, an official visit to the NaYiri was made where the American diplomats received a warm welcome from the Overlord, his elders, warriors and subchiefs. A dance troupe performed traditional Damba and Takai dances accompanied by lunsi drummers and gongyi fiddlers. After exchanging greetings and gifts, the NaYiri had his elders bestowed the honorary title of Sumniraana on his excellency which means “Chief of Good Relations.”
