Nene Tetteh Wakar lll called for unity and peace to enable the people to plan and execute development projects and said division and litigation were not in the interest of the town since they rather retard progress. He urged the people to use dialogue to solve their problems.

Some of the elders interviewed regretted that Prampram had no Senior Secondary School even though they hired lawyers at great cost to litigate.
"The courts although can take a decision, the decision cannot satisfy both parties. We want peace and we want development as the resources that we are wasting in the courts, I believe we can channel them to better uses in Prampram".
"What are we striving for, if we are asking for peace we are asking for peace so that development can take place in Prampram. No development can take place in a chaotic situation; investors would not even come.
"We have to count ourselves blessed as the government is today commissioning the Sport complex of Excellence in our town. This project is going to create job, a lot of opportunities for our people but if we are in a chaotic environment we cannot benefit as a people".
They advised the people against HIV/AIDS, saying, "It is spreading like a wide fire and if we play with it we will get it and if we get it we are certainly going to die" and called on the youth especially to be careful with their life.
