Accra
(Greater Accra) 09 October 2001-Selasi Kwawu, Miss Ghana 2001, on Monday
received a free comprehensive Motor Insurance cover worth 125 million cedis
from Star Assurance Company.
The cover
provides compensation for death or bodily injury or property damage to third
parties, accidental own damage as well as fire and theft cover for the car.
Mr Oblitey
Akwetey, Assistant Marketing Manager of Star Assurance, said the company's
participation in the programme was not only for its entertainment value but more
as a means of unlocking the talents of young ladies and to give them
"poise and confidence".
Mr Akwetey
advised Miss Kwawu to be humble and to associate with the unfortunate and lowly
placed in the society to give them hope and encouragement to face the future
positively.
Miss Kwawu
thanked the company and promised to discharge her duties to the best of her
ability. She appealed to the company to extend its cover to include personal
accident.

Wa (upper
West) 09 October 2001-Professor George P. Hagan, Chairman of the National
Commission
on Culture (NCC), on Monday appealed to district assemblies to cooperate with
staff of the Commission to promote culture.
He,
therefore, urged District Chief Executives (DCEs) to educate the people on the
importance of culture for socio-economic development. Prof Hagan said this when
he paid a courtesy call on the Upper West Regional Minister, Mr Sahanun Mogtari
at Wa.
He said the
NCC would soon collect data of all fetish and sacred groves in the country for
the people to appreciate the value of traditions of ethnic groups.
Mr Mogtari
called for protection of the country's culture to promote moral values.
