The Nkosuohene of Kwahu-Nkwatia, Nana Owiredu Wadie I has been honoured by the National Peace Council for his contribution to promoting peace and culture of love.

Perhaps motivated by ex-American president, John F. Kennedy's Maxim of " Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country", Nana Wadie's love for peace and security spurs him on to do more for society.
