Mr. Daniel Lawrence Afusah is an ace educationist who works with the Ghana Education Service in the Wassa East district of western region has expounded on the need to make the Wassa language one of the few printable and learnable Ghanaian languages in the country.
He explained that, the population of Wassa people forms about 60% of the entire population of western region. Adding that the thousands of Wassa children are compelled to abandon their mother tongue to learn entirely different languages in the various community schools which has gotten inverse effects on their performances in the Ghanaian language subject.
Besides, the Wassa land has produced very prominent personalities who have made and are making immense contributions to the development of Ghana.
Such distinguished individuals according to Mr. Afusah include the first President of the Republic, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who research and history has uncovered that, he hails from Tarkwa Nsuem in the western region and Hon. Isaac Adjei Mensah, MP for Wassa East constituency.
