The Head of Business Development at Response 1, Kwasi Ofori-Atta added that, “it is great to have Afua on board to support our objectives of protecting lives and properties.”
He was optimistic that the relationship would last for a long time while calling on the public to be conscious of security.
Afua Asantewaa said, she was happy to sign onto Response 1 and urged Ghanaians to make the provision of security at their homes a priority.
She said, “at the comfort of my home, I am able to see whoever is coming in from afar and also see whatever happens even while away from home.”
She also urged the government provide security at the Senior High Schools (SHSs) to protect students.
As tourism ambassador, she added that it was important for Ghanaians and visitors who would be trooping into the country in March for the Heritage Month, to be safe.
