A new Paramount Chief for the New Juaben Traditional area has been sworn in.
Daasebre Kweku Boateng III, privately known as Kwadwo Yeboah Gyamfi, is the 10th paramount chief and will replace the late Prof. Daasebre Oti Boateng II, who died last year.
He was born on 1 March 1971 to the Nana Kumnipa clan of New Juaben.
He is the eighth born of the mother’s eleven children. He had his primary school education at Madonna International School in Koforidua, where he sat for and passed the common entrance examination and gained admission to St. Peters Secondary School in Nkwantia for his Secondary Education.
He showed such brilliance that he was one of the top students from Form One through to Form Five.
In 1989, he sat for and passed the Ordinary Level Exams with distinction. He subsequently gained admission to the New Juaben Secondary School, Koforidua, for his Sixth Form Course between 1989 to 1991. He successfully passed the Advanced Level Examination in 1991.
Immediately after completing his A-Level Course, Odehyie Gyamfi travelled to Germany and obtained admission to the prestigious Block House College in Hamburg, Germany, to pursue a course in Hotel Management in 1992.
He excelled in the course such that immediately upon completion, he was offered employment as the Food and Beverage Manager at the prestigious Elyse Hotel (Block House) Hamburg, Germany.
He occupied this position until 2011, and during that period, he was also assigned to Block House Restaurant in Berlin as a Food and Beverage Manager.
After working for close to sixteen years, Odehyie Gyamfi decided to pursue more academic excellence, and this led him to pursue professional certification in Logistic and Building Services.
In 2019, Odehyie Kwadwo Yeboah decided to broaden his scope of business and ventured into farming and, together with a group of friends, established a poultry
farm in Ghana known as P89 in Winneba which has grown to become one of the largest poultry farms in Ghana.
He is married to Akosua Asiedua and has seven children.
New Juaben is a settlement of refugees from the war in Asanteman established in the Eastern Region in 1875.
The late Emeritus Professor Emmanuel Oti Boateng succeeded his blood brother Nana Kwaku Boateng II as the paramount chief of New Juaben in 1992, taking the stool name Daasebre.
