A Latvian entrepreneur and CEO of A1Diesel and Zefix Auto Parts, Aldis Ozols, has been enstooled as the Nkosuohene (Development Chief) of Supresu-Man in the Nankese Traditional Area.
The colourful ceremony, held over the weekend, drew chiefs, elders, and residents under the theme “Impacting the Local Community, Lifting People Up.”
Paramount Chief Nana Baffour Obeng-Appiah I and his elders presided over the durbar, formally recognising Ozols for his longstanding support and commitment to community development. “Your contributions over the years have demonstrated a genuine interest in uplifting our people,” Nana Baffour Obeng-Appiah I said, urging stakeholders to use their resources for community advancement.
In his acceptance speech, Ozols expressed gratitude and pledged continued support for the people of Supresu. He revealed plans to construct a community centre featuring a library, modern sanitation facilities, and a recreational space for social and educational activities. An initial GH₵50,000 has already been deposited to kickstart the project.
Ozols also announced plans to open branches of Zefix Ecowas Auto Parts within the community, a move expected to create jobs and develop local talent.
The enstoolment highlights a growing trend in Ghana of collaborations between traditional authorities and private sector actors to drive sustainable community development.
