Renowned Ghanaian gospel musician Diana Hamilton has been enstooled as the Nkosuohemaa (Development Queen Mother) of Dodo Tamale in the Oti Region, recognizing her contributions to the community.
She was given the stool name Nana Hemaa Adwoa Amponsah I during a ceremony held on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, ahead of the commissioning of a newly constructed school building.
The enstoolment follows her philanthropic efforts through the Diana Hamilton Foundation, which recently completed a five-classroom block with an office unit, furnished with chairs and tables for all classrooms. This initiative, aimed at enhancing education in the area, was executed in partnership with Adom Group of Companies.
The ‘Adom’ hitmaker first launched the initiative in 2021, organizing a fundraising dinner to support the construction of the school. The sod-cutting ceremony took place in January 2022, and after nearly three years of work, the project was completed in December 2024.
On Wednesday, January 29, 2025, before the official commissioning of the school, the chiefs and people of Dodo Tamale honored her with the Nkosuohemaa title to express their gratitude for her impact on the community.
The completion of the school project is part of activities leading up to the 2025 edition of the Awake Experience with Diana Hamilton, a powerful worship encounter scheduled to take place in three major cities:
- Accra: February 16, 2025, at ICGC Christ Temple East, Teshie
