Otumfuo Amoah Sasraku IV made this statement at the launch of the 2025 'Tu Anko' festival, celebrated by the people of Twifo Hemang and slated to hold from 9th-16th November, 2025, on the theme 'Unlocking Developmental Potentials through Festival.'

Nana Adwoa Obeng Asor II,
Queen Mother of Twifoman Traditional Area in an engagement with the media, shared worry over the increasing number of teenage pregnancy often recorded upon celebrating the festival each year. 

In view of this, she cautioned the youth, particularly young ladies of Twifo Hemang to play safe by absenting from all forms of sexual immoralities in celebrating this year's 'Tu Anko' festival, as a precautionary measure to the contraction of sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies which turns to hinder their future goals and aspirations. 

Chairman for the occasion, Mr. Daniel Blay-Quao, together with other revered personalities who showed up for the event also called on natives of Twifo Hemang, both home and abroad not to relent but come forth with their support to make the festival a success by helping the planning committee achieve its aim of completing the ongoing construction of the Twifo Hemang Nursing Training College.

The festival which has Nkunim Event and Planning Consult as its main sponsor, has scheduled on its activity menu to have an akwaaba night to kickstart the occasion, coupled with a 2-day football gala, a float, an artiste night with Kwami Eugene and Kofi Kinaata, with its grand durbar slated for 15th November before climaxing the event with a gospel explosion which has Obaapa Christy, Mabel Okyere and a host of gospel artistes billed for it.
