Otumfuo Osei Tutu II MultiPurpose Auditorium Jubilee constructed at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region has been commissioned.
The construction of the multipurpose hall is part of Asantehene's 25th Anniversary.
Juabenhene Nana Otuo Serebou, chairman of the planning committee of Asantehene's 25th anniversary speaking at the official inauguration of the magnificent and fully air-conditioned facility, said, is three and half times the size of the 2,000-capacity Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The Chairman stated that due to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s unparalleled leadership, the committee decided to request naming it after him.
Added that the facility was single-handedly constructed by Otumfuo and so they pleaded for his permission to have it named after himself so that will be a long-lasting legacy to his name.
Emphasizing the critical need for the facility, Juabenhene stated that the hall would enable traditional authorities to host important events at the Palace instead of renting venues elsewhere and would accommodate as many audiences as possible.
He further stated that it will host some of the events slated for the 25th Anniversary of the King such as a Photo Exhibition and a dinner.
