Oseadeayo Agyemang Badu II therefore donated an office space in the Dormaa Central Municipality to support the promotion of the Bono language and also pledged other needed support for the project and encouraged the team to speed up activities to make the dream a reality.

She said the move would evolve the dialect which she termed as the “first Akan language”.
