He assured the newly installed Regent, Kpampakuya Naa Yakubu Abukari, of NAFCO's continued support for the Dagbon Kingdom, stating, "I am here today, on behalf of our board, management and staff to let the Regent, know that the same support we offered to our grandfather we would extend the same support to him".

Mr. Abradu-Otoo described the late Ya-Na Mahama Abukari II as a great man who made significant contributions to humanity, and his death was a major loss to those who admired his peaceful disposition and commitment to the development of northern Ghana.
