Prof. Mrs. Abena Agyeiwaa Obiri-Yeboah; and the Registrar, Mr. Ebenezer Kofi Boakye.

The funeral rites, known as Dɔte Yie, commenced on September 14, 2025, and are being observed with grandeur and cultural dignity. The ceremonies involve public viewing of the Queen Mother’s remains at the Manhyia Palace and will conclude with her final interment at the Bantama Royal Mausoleum on Thursday, September 18, 2025.
