Ghana Local Government Bulletin No. 80 — Page 41 (22 November 1974)
22 November 1974
Ghana Local Government Bulletin No. 80 (22 November 1974), Page 41 — an official government gazette page listing chieftaincy changes across the Ga Traditional Areas. Winchester Tete Boye (Nii Boi I) is listed among the chiefs, recorded under the gazette nomenclature of the time as "Sub-Divisional Chief of the Abeka-Asere Division" with his installation dated 2 May 1968. Abeka is today recognised as a Divisional Stool under the Ga Traditional Council. He appears alongside many other chiefs installed across the Abola, Osu, Asere, and Tema Divisions in that period. This is the Government of Ghana's own official record of Nii Boi I as the rightfully installed chief of the Abeka-Asere area. PRAAD-authenticated (EG.6/2/1175, Ref. Certificate #0000427).
