Dr. John Kwesi Addo expressed immense gladness regarding the progress made by the society, “We are filled with joy to bring God’s Word to the great Bono people in your cherished mother tongue; this represents a dream fulfilled for many, and we believe it will profoundly impact the lives of Bono speakers and preserve the Bono language for centuries to come.” He said in a statement released by the society.
