Two-piece outfits are trendy, stylish, and incredibly versatile. They come in various designs—from casual to formal—and offer the convenience of a coordinated look without the effort of mixing and matching. Here are some stunning two-piece styles every lady should consider:
1. Crop Top and High-Waisted Skirt:
Perfect for brunch, dates, or weddings. Choose a fitted crop top paired with a flared or pencil skirt. Ankara, lace, or satin fabrics make this combo stand out. Add heels and simple jewelry for a classy touch.
A matching blouse and tailored trousers create a polished and elegant look. Ideal for office wear or formal events, you can go with plain colors or soft prints. Pair with pumps and a structured handbag.
3. Shirt and Short Set:
Casual and cute, this look is great for relaxed weekends or holidays. Go for cotton, linen, or Ankara fabrics with sneakers or slides. Accessorize with a crossbody bag and sunglasses.
4. Kimono and Pants Set:
A long kimono over matching trousers and a tank top or bralette gives a stylish, laid-back vibe. Great for casual hangouts or evening outings. Choose bold patterns or solids depending on your style.
5. Skirt and Jacket Set:
Great for semi-formal events or church. A midi or maxi skirt paired with a matching jacket or long-sleeve blouse can be both modest and fashionable. Add a clutch and heels to finish the look.
6. Palazzo Pants and Top:
Loose, flowy pants paired with a matching blouse or crop top make a comfortable yet elegant outfit. Best for events or vacations, this combo works in both prints and plain fabrics.
Two-piece outfits allow you to mix style with comfort and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Andy Opoku (L) exchanging pleasantries with Yaw Akuoku
A member of the security detail of the presidential candidate of the New Force, Andy Opoku also known as ‘Seven’, has publicly apologised to Mr. Yaw Akuoku for physically assaulting him during the funeral of the late Paramount Chief of Mampong on Saturday.
Narrating the incident at a press conference last Sunday in Accra, Mr. Opoku attributed the action he took against the victim to his inability to manage his anger at the time, and apologised to the victim, all Ghanaians and the leadership of the movement for his actions.
He said, “I sincerely apologise to the victim, to my boss and the leadership of the movement and every one. I am undergoing an anger management course now and hope to come out and put up an excellent behaviour in dealing with people.”
The victim, Mr. Yaw Akuoku, disclosed that he wanted to gain access to the late Mamponghene’s palace together with some other people present during the funeral, and was hit by one of the security detail of Nana Kwame Bediako without any provocation.
Mr. Akuoku thanked the leadership of New Force, particularly Nana Kwame Bediako, for his quick intervention in providing him medical treatment.
He said he has sincerely forgiven the security officer, and stated that the presidential candidate of the New Force Movement has also apologised to him, and provided medical treatment in Accra.
But Lead Economist for the New Force Movement, Hubert Baidoo, for his part, said though they have issued a public apology on the issue, his outfit has already launched investigations in to the matter to ensure it does not recur in future.
“We deeply regret the incident and cannot be overlooked though we are conducting investigations to take actions on that. We have asked him to enroll in anger management course, and it is not something we take lightly at all. We are very sorry,” he added.
Background
A viral video on Saturday showed one of the security detail of the leader of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, physically assaulting a gentleman who attempted to have access to him.
The security officer, in a video which has since gone viral and received widespread condemnation from sections of the public, was seen kicking the victim twice in the chest.
Ealier statements signed by General Secretary Charles Yomekpe, described the act as “deeply saddening and disturbing,” indicating that the victim who was assaulted posed no threat and deserves dignity and respect.

SECO launches Ghana Cooperation Programme for 2025 – 2028
Switzerland, through its State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), has launched a $77 million grant (the equivalent of 65 million Swiss Francs) for its Ghana Cooperation Programme for 2025-2028.
The programme aimed to support the country in seizing opportunities and addressing economic challenges and environmental concerns.
It was under the theme, “Creating a More Resilient and Forward-Looking Ghanaian Economy.”
The Swiss Ambassador to Ghana, Simone Giger, said the theme reflects Ghana’s state in the past few years that have seen the most difficult times in the country’s history.
She said Ghana has shown a true sense of resilience as it has started recovering from these challenges.
Speaking on the sidelines of the launch of the Ghana Cooperation Programme 2025-2028 on June 5, 2025, she said, “So, today, we launched this new cooperation program for the next four years, and it’s under the topic of creating a more resilient and forward-looking Ghanaian economy.
“And why resilient, why forward-looking? So, resilience really means the ability to withstand shocks, the ability to weather storms. The past few years have shown that this is very important for Ghana.”
The Swiss Ambassador added that the partnership is to help the Ghanaian economy stand against global shocks.
“Ghana’s economy needs certain buffers that when there’s an external shock that hits the economy, it can actually stand strong. And then we also said we want to invest in a forward-looking economy that’s more like for future generations. You need to invest now and plan ahead so that the generations to come can also profit and benefit from a clean, healthy and prosperous Ghana,” she added.
The launch of the programme saw stakeholders from different sectors, like the government, high-level representatives, the private sector, civil society, academia, and development partners.
The ambassador also added that “funding for me is not the most important element of it, but we are speaking now about 65 million Swiss francs. That’s roughly, according to today’s exchange rate, about 77 million US dollars, and this is all in grants, so it doesn’t have to be paid back.
“So, it’s quite substantial, but I think what’s important is that in today’s world and these times, when a lot of other countries are cutting back on their development cooperation, we were actually able to maintain the envelope that we are providing to Ghana. Now, when it comes to my vision, four years is not a very long time, but I still want to dream a bit,” she noted.

Accra, June 10, GNA-The countdown begins to the “Access to Agency: Empowering Women Through Digital Inclusion” international conference that promises to reshape how we think about digital inclusion
and women’s empowerment in low-and-middle income countries.
On July 2nd and 3rd, 2025, Accra, Ghana will host the Access to Agency: Empowering
Women Through Digital Inclusion conference, jointly convened by the BRAC Institute of
Governance and Development (BIGD) and Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA).
BIGD’s deep expertise in digital connectivity pathways—demonstrated by the WEE-DiFine and WEE-Connect Initiatives —combines with IPA’s global and local research network and evidence-based
approach to create a powerful convergence of expertise, innovation, and urgent necessity to
address a pressing development challenge – digital inclusion and women’s empowerment.
As one of Africa’s most digitally progressive countries, Ghana has made significant strides in
mobile connectivity and digital financial services. However, the gender gap in digital access
remains pronounced, mirroring patterns across SSA.

They discussed the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), Ghana’s local content policy, US import regulations, outstanding debts to US firms and the revival of the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA).
Ghana’s Trade, Agri-business and Industry Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare recently met senior US officials in Washington, DC, to address critical trade policy issues.
They discussed the AGOA, Ghana’s local content policy, US import regulations, outstanding debts to US firms and the revival of the TIFA pact.
She is scheduled to meet USTR officials in the next few weeks to continue consultations.
The minister stressed the importance of AGOA—set to expire in September 2025—in attracting US investment, particularly, in Ghana’s growing garment and textile industry. Enacted in 2000, AGOA offers duty-free access to over 1,800 products from eligible sub-Saharan African countries.
The high-level meeting followed protectionist measures announced under the United States’ revived ‘America First’ trade policy.
Both sides agreed on the need for constructive engagement to balance Ghana’s development goals with the expectations of foreign investors, and highlighted the importance of regulatory clarity and compliance with safety and environmental standards, a domestic news agency reported.
The minister is scheduled to meet officials of the office of the US trade representative in the next few weeks to continue consultations.

The Financial Times is the latest acclaimed international media outlet to report on the ordeal of the former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, who has been declared a wanted fugitive and added to the INTERPOL Red Notice database.
In an article titled “From finance minister to fugitive: the targets of Ghana’s anti-corruption drive”, which was published on June 9, 2025, the Financial Times gave details of allegations against Ofori-Atta.
It also featured the former minister’s response to the allegations against him and a commentary on the brouhaha by policy analyst Bright Simons.
Read the full article below:
Ken Ofori-Atta has worn many hats in his long career as an investment banker, entrepreneur, and, until last year, Ghana’s Davos-pleasing finance minister. Now he has a new one: a wanted man on Interpol’s red list.
Ofori-Atta, 65, who has been seeking medical treatment in the US, is wanted to answer charges of “using public office for profit” during his 2017-2024 tenure as finance minister, the longest in Ghana’s history. He denies all charges. The Interpol red notice is the latest salvo in a legal drama between Ofori-Atta and the Office of Ghana’s Special Prosecutor (OSP), which declared him a “fugitive” in February as part of a sprawling anti-corruption drive launched by President John Mahama, who took office in January.
Ofori-Atta told the Financial Times before the Interpol red notice was issued that he was “puzzled and dismayed” by the turn of events. He had initially asked the prosecutor to speak to his lawyers given that he would “be out of the country for the next few months”.
Ofori-Atta said he was not the “originating nor implementing minister” in four of the five cases brought up by the prosecutor, relating to government contracts in power, petroleum and health.
The former finance minister is also wanted in relation to an estimated $58mn of public funds spent on Accra’s ill-fated National Cathedral project, which was abandoned two years ago. A devout Christian who once led a prayer session for the success of a eurobond offering. Ofori-Atta personally backed the project.
The National Democratic Congress won December’s presidential election promising to stamp out corruption that had allegedly taken hold during the previous administration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), of which Ofori-Atta was a leading light.
The NPP government, headed by Nana Akufo-Addo, Ofori-Atta’s cousin, had come to power promising a squeaky-clean technocratic administration, but it was forced to default on the country’s debt in December 2022 and seek a $3bn IMF bailout. As finance minister, Ofori-Atta blamed the Covid-19 pandemic and a sharp currency depreciation for the default, but critics say government profligacy was also a factor.
Operation Recover All Loot (Oral) was initiated by Mahama to document alleged cases of corruption. A report submitted in February claimed more than $20bn had been stolen.
Bright Simons, head of research at the Imani think-tank in Accra, said Mahama’s anti-corruption campaign was a response to public anger at a “deepening sense of impunity” among the political elite. “High-profile prosecutions are central to this strategy,” he said.
Ghana is considered one of Africa’s most successful democracies, with a reasonably buoyant economy despite the 2022 default.
But since the corruption probe was launched, the capital Accra has been gripped by fear. Officials who served in Akufo-Addo’s government have been privately wondering whether they would be next on the special prosecutor’s docket. Many describe the campaign as vindictive and attention-grabbing.
At least one former high-ranking Akufo-Addo adviser has taken to driving around Accra with private security to ward off police attention.
Ofori-Atta is the highest-profile, but not the only, former government official to be caught in the widening probe. In March, the private residence of Ernest Addison, former central bank chief, was raided at dawn by some 15 heavily armed soldiers searching for “vaults” he allegedly kept at home. No vaults were found, according to local media reports.
Imani’s Simons said Mahama, whose previous administration from 2012-17 was itself accused of corruption, had not made the “substantive changes” needed to root out the lingering perception of pervasive graft. The think-tank, and civil society as a whole, has called for greater transparency around government spending.
It is also pushing for merit-based appointments, “lifestyle audits” of those in government roles who live lavishly, and for unexplained wealth orders to be built into the civil service code.
An initial thaw in relations between Ofori-Atta and the OSP, headed by Kissi Agyebeng, broke down when the former finance minister sued the OSP, citing unlawful treatment and demanding the removal of “damaging” content from the agency’s social media accounts.
At a recent press briefing, Agyebeng said he had rejected Ofori-Atta’s offer to appear at a virtual hearing.
“We want him here physically, and we insist on it,” Agyebeng said. “A suspect in a criminal investigation does not pick and choose how the investigative body conducts its investigations and the methods suitable to him and his convenience.”
Ofori-Atta did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

PSG forward Kvicha Kvaratskhelia has been robbed
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) winger Kvicha Kvaratskhelia’s home was robbed while he was enjoying a holiday on the French Riviera with his family and international teammate Zuriko Davitashvili.

Michael Edem Akafia is the President of the Ghana Chamber of Mines
The Ghana Chamber of Mines has called on the government to remove VAT on mineral exploration activities.
Michael Edem Akafia, President of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, pointed out that exploration is crucial to the mining industry’s long-term sustainability, serving as its foundation.
According to a report by citinewsroom.com, he urged the government to reconsider the imposition of Value Added Tax (VAT) on mineral exploration activities.
He said this levy poses a significant impediment to discovering new mineral resources and sustaining future production in the mining sector.
The sector faces numerous challenges, including rising production costs, declining mineral reserves, and increasing competition from other mining destinations.
The imposition of VAT on mineral exploration activities exacerbates these challenges by increasing the financial burden on mining companies, particularly during the exploration phase when returns on investment are uncertain.
“The relevance of exploration in ensuring a pipeline of viable projects cannot be overemphasised. It is the single most critical activity that guarantees continued mineral production,” Akafia said.
According to him, removing VAT on mineral exploration activities could have several benefits for Ghana’s mining sector.
Indicating it would reduce the financial burden on mining companies, enabling them to allocate more resources to exploration and development activities.
Removing VAT on mineral exploration activities is a policy measure that could help revitalise Ghana’s mining sector.
By reducing the financial burden on mining companies and making Ghana a more attractive investment destination, this move could lead to increased exploration activities, new discoveries, and sustained production.

The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has warned that fully implementing the demands currently outlined in the conditions of service for nurses and midwives could significantly destabilise Ghana’s economy.
His caution comes amid a nationwide strike by members of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), who are demanding immediate action on improved service conditions.
Speaking at a presser in Accra on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, Akandoh reiterated the government’s openness to dialogue but stressed the economic challenges tied to the current proposals.
“The government will again stress its readiness to further engage with the view of implementing the conditions of service in a manner that does not dislocate the national budget,” he stated.
He further explained that the proposed benefits were not factored into the national financial plan.
“We wish to draw attention to the fact that the conditions under reference are not captured in the 2025 budget and will completely throw the economy off gear if implemented immediately in the manner it currently exists.”
Akandoh emphasised the government’s awareness of the risks associated with unplanned spending.
“We are mindful of the serious economic consequences of unbudgeted expenditure, and we want to avoid the economic factors that led to the crisis in the first place,” he added.
The ongoing strike has disrupted health services across the country, with many public health facilities now operating with limited personnel.
The minister appealed to the leadership of the GRNMA to return to the negotiating table and work toward a compromise.

Kumasi, June 10, GNA – The Institute of Nature and Environmental Conservation (INEC-Ghana) has raised concerns over the growing threat of plastic pollution in the country, calling on the government to implement stringent policies to curb the crisis.
Mr. David Kwarteng, Executive Director of INEC-Ghana, proposed the enactment of a law that mandates supermarkets and shopping centers to charge shoppers who fail to bring reusable bags, as a way of discouraging single-use plastic bag consumption.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in commemoration of the 2025 World Environment Day, Mr. Kwarteng stated: “Ghana is in a crisis. The rate at which we are using plastics is unsustainable.
Plastics are non-biodegradable, our waste disposal systems are poor, we dump plastics anywhere and there is so many so much sole use plastics.”
He emphasized that these challenges are exacerbated by the reality that the ocean has become a primary dumping ground for plastic waste, further intensifying environmental harm.
Mr. Kwarteng warned that plastic pollution poses serious health risks to ocean biodiversity, noting that aquatic animals, many of which are consumed by humans are ingesting plastic particles, thereby increasing the risk of plastics entering the human food chain.
Citing data from the 2023 World Economic Forum, he noted that Ghana produces approximately 840,000 tonnes of plastic waste annually, with only 9.5 percent collected for recycling.
Globally, around eight million tonnes of plastic waste leak into the ocean each year. If urgent and collective action is not taken, it is estimated that by 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean.
Mr. Kwarteng stressed the need for Ghana to take proactive measures, including the promotion of paper-based alternatives, increased public awareness on reusing plastics, and the development of durable, reusable shopping bags.
This year’s World Environment Day is being observed under the theme: “Ending Plastic Pollution: Repurposing Plastic Use.”

The Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has held discussions with senior officials of the United States (US) Department of Commerce in Washington, DC, as part of efforts to deepen economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.
The meeting was against the backdrop of the United States’ “America First” Trade Policy and the subsequent imposition of a blanket 10 per cent tariff on shipments from several countries, including Ghana.
The minister was accompanied by a Ghanaian career diplomat and acting Head of Mission at Ghana’s Mission in Washington, Ambassador Jane Gasu Aheto; the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Authority, Dr Mary Awusi, and the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Abdul Razak.
The US party was represented by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Middle East and Africa, Thomas Bruns, and the acting Director/Designated Federal Officer for the President’s Advisory Council on Doing Business in Africa (PAC-DBIA), Giancarlo Cavallo.
The discussions centred on the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), local content policy, import regulations, outstanding debts to US companies and Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA).
Mrs Ofosu-Adjare reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with the United States and emphasised the importance of continued engagement on trade policy issues that impact both economies.
As the agreement on AGOA is set to expire in September 2025, the minister reaffirmed Ghana’s support for its renewal, emphasising AGOA’s role in attracting substantial US investments, particularly in Ghana’s flourishing garment and textile sector.
The Minister of Trade described AGOA as a “win-win” arrangement that had benefited both countries.
Speaking to the issue of local content policy, Ms Ofosu-Adjare told the US officials that the impact of Ghana’s local content regulations on US mining companies operating in the country had been reviewed.
The US delegation acknowledged Ghana’s proactive steps in initiating dialogue and expressed the willingness to work collaboratively on shared priorities.
Both sides agreed on the need for constructive dialogue to balance national development goals with investor interests.
US officials also raised concerns regarding the importation of excavators and overage vehicles from the US to Ghana, calling for greater regulatory clarity and improved standards compliance.
Addressing concerns about long-standing payments owed to American businesses, Mrs Ofosu-Adjare assured the US officials that the Ministry of Finance was working towards a timely resolution.
The discussions also called for a resumed dialogue under the TIFA platform to revitalise structured trade and investment relations between the two countries.
The meeting marks an important step in Ghana’s broader efforts to re-engage global partners and reinforce the country’s commitment to trade diplomacy, economic cooperation and investment promotion.
As a follow-up to the discussions, Mrs Ofosu-Adjare, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Techiman North, will meet with the Office of the United States Trade Representative in the coming weeks to continue bilateral consultations on trade and economic issues of mutual interest.

Antoine Semenyo is being chased by top European clubs this season
Tottenham Hotspur are making decisive efforts to sign Ghanaian striker Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth following his impressive performance in the 2024/2025 season in the Premier League.
According to a Sky Sports report, the prolific striker is also on the radar of Manchester United, who are said to be exploring a deal for the player to augment their team.
However, neither Manchester United nor Tottenham has presented an official bid to Bournemouth or begun transfer negotiations yet, but this is expected to happen soon.
The Red Devils have Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo as their priority target, having had their €55 million offer rejected, and are expected to follow up with another offer.
Bournemouth have set a €70 million price tag on the Ghanaian forward, as his remarkable season has generated interest from top European clubs.
In the 2024/2025 season, Semenyo made 42 appearances, scored 23 goals, and made 7 assists to help Bournemouth secure a respectable position in the Premier League table.

Professor Samuel Adu-Gyamfi, a political historian at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to take a deeper look at the recent remarks made by Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a presidential aspirant for the 2024 elections as reported by Ghana Web.
Adu-Gyamfi clarified that Agyapong’s comments were not meant to divide the party but to encourage reflection for a stronger future, particularly in the 2028 elections.
In an interview on Bohobio Live on Hello 101.5 FM, the historian stated that Agyapong’s call for fairness and strategic thinking in the NPP’s candidate selection should be viewed as a “genuine plea” to safeguard the party’s future.
“Ken did not insult anyone or cast aspersions. His comments were deeply rooted in historical reasoning,” Adu-Gyamfi stated.
Drawing from history, Adu-Gyamfi pointed to the NPP’s past decisions, such as the party’s choice not to re-nominate Professor Albert Adu-Boahen after his 1992 loss, despite his pivotal role in Ghana’s return to multiparty democracy.
“The NPP made a pragmatic choice,” he said, stressing the need for a strategic approach to leadership, especially after setbacks.
The professor also referenced the NPP’s internal democracy, citing John Agyekum Kufuor’s second presidential bid in 2000 as an example of the party’s ability to learn from past mistakes.
He warned that the party must select a candidate who can unite and appeal to all regions in 2028, emphasizing the importance of “credibility, influence, and a clear vision” for the party’s future.
Fashion has always been more than just clothing it’s a form of self-expression, a reflection of mood, and, increasingly, a tool for emotional well-being. The emerging trend of “dopamine dressing” encapsulates this idea, encouraging individuals to wear outfits that boost their mood through vibrant colors, playful patterns, and comforting textures.
Imagine starting your day by choosing an ensemble not just for style but for the joy it brings. A sunny yellow dress might evoke feelings of happiness and optimism, while a calming blue blouse can instill a sense of tranquility. This approach to dressing isn’t about following trends but about tuning into what makes you feel good.
The psychological impact of clothing, known as “enclothed cognition,” suggests that what we wear can influence our mental state and performance. By consciously selecting outfits that resonate with positive emotions, we can harness this effect to enhance our daily experiences.
Incorporating elements that spark joy be it a favorite accessory, a cherished color, or a beloved fabric can transform the act of dressing into a daily ritual of self-care. It’s about creating a wardrobe that not only looks good but also feels good, aligning with your personal sense of comfort and happiness.
You don’t have to wait for a reason to dress beautifully. In fact, making that choice consciously each day can become your form of self-love. These outfits are here to help you radiate strength, joy, and elegance whether you’re walking into a meeting, strolling through town, or dancing through your living room.
Let this collection remind you that fashion isn’t frivolous it’s personal, powerful, and transformative. Dress to express. Dress to elevate. Dress to feel alive.
The government has called on retired nurses and midwives to temporarily return to service in a bid to mitigate the impact of the ongoing strike by members of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
The appeal comes as the nationwide strike intensifies without resolution. The industrial action was triggered by the government’s proposal to defer the implementation of new conditions of service for nurses and midwives to 2026, an offer the GRNMA has flatly rejected.
Speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday, June 10, Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, acknowledged the growing strain on the healthcare system and outlined emergency measures being taken to address the situation.
“Given the urgency of the situation and the suffering of patients, the government is appealing to public-spirited retired nurses and midwives to volunteer their service for a brief period pending the resolution of the impasse,” the Minister stated.
As part of immediate interventions, the Ministry of Health announced plans to publish a comprehensive list of alternative healthcare facilities where patients can seek nursing services. These facilities are expected to complement hospitals and clinics currently affected by staff shortages.
In addition, the Minister disclosed that the Ministry of Finance and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission have been directed to urgently develop a roadmap for the smooth implementation of the nurses’ revised conditions of service.
“Government remains committed to continuing dialogue with the nurses to reach a mutually acceptable outcome in the interest of public health,” he assured.
Efforts to resolve the impasse intensified on Monday, June 9, when the Ministry of Health held a closed-door emergency meeting with leaders of the GRNMA and other stakeholders.
However, the discussions ended without agreement, leaving thousands of patients stranded across the country.
The strike, which has affected operations in both public and some private health facilities, is already taking a toll on service delivery, with long queues and limited access to basic care being reported.

In developing countries, girls face numerous challenges regarding Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) due to various factors, namely limited access to clean water, inadequate sanitation facilities, and a lack of menstrual hygiene support.
Women and girls are disproportionately affected by the lack of access to basic water, sanitation and hygiene facilities due to their needs during periods of increased vulnerability to infection around menstruation and reproduction.
Many girls in developing countries lack access to clean, safe drinking water and must travel long distances for accessibility, which can be time-consuming, dangerous, and prevent them from attending school or other activities.
Lack of access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene can lead to waterborne diseases, increased susceptibility to infections, and overall health problems.
Inadequate WASH infrastructure in schools can lead to absenteeism, decreased school attendance, and even dropout rates for girls.
The time spent collecting water and managing sanitation can impact girls’ economic opportunities and reduce their ability to participate in income-generating activities.
The challenges of WASH can have significant psychosocial impacts on girls, such as increased stress, anxiety, and feelings of shame or isolation.
In this regard, the Social Development and Improvement Agency (SODIA) has commenced a Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) audit in five selected community schools in the Tain District.
It is being done in partnership with ActionAid Ghana’s Brong Ahafo Regional Programme (BARP) with support from the Young Urban Women Movement (YUWM) and the Ghana Education Service (GES) in Tain District.
Since April and May 2025, ActionAid and SODIA have supported YUWM to embark on a WASH Audit in five (5) selected schools in communities, namely Namasa, Kwametenten, Hiamankyene, Njau-Tanoso and Wiasekrom, with findings shared to stakeholders.
The WASH audit aims to promote inclusive education, particularly for the girl child, in line with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on quality and inclusive education.
It will also empower students and community members to address water- and sanitation-related health Issues in their schools.
The audit advocates for affordable and safe sanitary materials, accurate information about menstruation and menstrual health, facilities and infrastructure that allow for dignified menstrual management and addressing challenging societal norms and taboos surrounding menstruation.
The initiative is also tied to the celebration of World Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28, 2025.
By promoting inclusive education and improving WASH facilities, this initiative seeks to create a conducive learning environment for all students, particularly girls.
Ibrahim Yusif, Programme Coordinator for SODIA, in remarks at Nsawkaw in the Bono Region, said his outfit recognises the strength and resilience of girls and women worldwide.
For us, the Programme Coordinator noted, this celebration is not just about acknowledging the challenges women face but about taking concrete actions to address them.
“We have distributed essential educational materials and hygiene products to our Sponsored Eighteen (18) community schools in the Tain and Banda districts, respectively,” he reiterated.
According to Mr Ibrahim, SODIA has provided over 750 pieces of sanitary pads to support menstrual hygiene management of girls, 2,500 exercise books to foster learning and knowledge acquisition,
He said that 1,500 pens, 450 pencils, and 650 mathematical sets were to equip students with the necessary tools for academic success, and 1,100 clear bags were to protect and carry educational materials.
The Programme Coordinator said these efforts are part of their commitment to empower girls and promote inclusive education, saying that every girl deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to reach her full potential.
Mr. Ibrahim noted that by addressing barriers to education, including menstrual hygiene management, we aim to create a supportive environment where every girl can thrive.
He emphasised the importance of collective action to ensure that menstruation doesn’t limit anyone’s access to education, health or opportunities and to promote a world where everyone can manage their menstruation with dignity without barriers, free from stigma and taboos.
Again, the Programme Coordinator indicated, “Let us work together to create a world where menstruation is no longer a barrier to education but an opportunity for girls to grow, learn, and thrive.”

He explained that he insisted on feeling real pain to make the video authentic
Ghanaian TikTok comic star Killer Ntua has shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes story of how one of his early skits required him to endure four hard slaps.
Speaking in an interview on The Delay Show, the content creator recounted his rise in the skit-making industry using TikTok.
According to Killer Ntua, after completing senior high school, he became close friends with Last Hero, now his regular collaborator.
At the time, Last Hero was selling fried rice to survive. But business was slow, and he eventually abandoned it to try his luck in lottery sales after running at a loss.
“When TikTok became popular in Ghana, people encouraged me to get into content because they knew I was funny,” Killer Ntua said. “I really liked Last Hero and always went to him to eat because he also liked me. One day, I told him I had a content idea, that he should give me about four slaps like a soldier,” he stated.
He explained that he insisted on feeling real pain to make the video as funny and authentic as possible.
“If I didn’t feel the slap well, I told him to hit me again until it came out right,” he narrated amid laughter.
At the time, they had no equipment of their own and often borrowed phones just to shoot. Eventually, their commitment gradually began paying off.
Subsequently, an early TikTok account they built together grew to 27,000 followers, but disaster struck when the account was hacked.
“We had to start all over again. Life was very difficult,” he added.
He said the second attempt, however, marked a turning point, as their next account finally gave them the breakthrough they had long worked for.

Agradaa (L) has lambasted gospel musician Empres Gifty (R) that Rolex is expensive than her award
Evangelist Patricia Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has once again lambasted gospel musician Empress Gifty amid their ongoing feud.
In a video shared on Instagram on June 9, 2025, Agradaa questioned Empress Gifty’s excitement over her award from the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs), stating that it isn’t as significant as she portrayed.
She further emphasised that a Rolex watch holds greater value than Empress Gifty’s ‘Best Traditional Gospel’ award.
“Look at the way you have disgraced yourself. A Rolex watch is more useful than your award. At least, a Rolex can be worn for more than two years. See how you are carrying the award on your neck. See the way I am putting you under pressure,” she said.
Agradaa also asked Empress Gifty to stop creating what she describes as unnecessary noise with her award.
She further accused Empress Gifty of buying her ‘Best Traditional Gospel Song’ plaque.
“You have regretted coming against me. Let us have peace in the country. We have gospel musicians in this country who are not paying bloggers to promote their songs. So don’t disturb us with your fake award.
“As a gospel musician, you can’t even write your own songs unless a secular musician, who is even a gospel musician, writes a song for you. We mostly criticize secular musicians, but they are the ones who write songs for our so-called gospel musicians,” she added.
Background
Empress Gifty and Agradaa have been engaged in a heated social media feud in recent times, during which Agradaa hurled derogatory statements at Empress and even involved her husband.
In response, Empress Gifty filed a GH¢ 20 million defamation lawsuit against Agradaa, a development that has remained a hot topic on social media.

Kwabena Mintah Akandoh is the Minister of Health
The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has stated that the implementation of the 2024 Collective Agreement by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, (GRNMA) is not captured in the 2025 Budget Statement.
According to him, budgetary constraints will make it difficult for government to effect payment this year.
At a press conference on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, he explained the government’s position on the ongoing strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
“We wish to draw attention to the fact that the conditions of service under reference are not captured in the 2025 budget and will completely dislodge the national budget if implemented immediately in the manner it currently exists,” he said.
More than 128,000 nurses and midwives across Ghana have declared a nationwide strike action over government’s continued delay in implementing their new conditions of service which was agreed in 2024 under the Akufo-Addo government.
The GRNMA has vowed not to resume work until government implements their conditions of service agreed in 2024.

Ghana has recorded 34 new cases of Mpox, pushing the total number of confirmed infections to 79, according to health authorities.
Officials from the Ghana Health Service (GHS) report that four patients are currently in admission and under close observation. In response, contact tracing efforts have intensified in a bid to contain the spread of the disease.
The recent surge in cases has sparked concern among the public. However, health authorities have moved to allay fears, assuring citizens that the situation remains under control and that there is no cause for alarm.
In the wake of the outbreak, the GHS urges the public to adopt preventive measures, including maintaining good personal hygiene, avoiding close contact with individuals exhibiting symptoms, especially those with unexplained rashes, and seeking prompt medical attention if symptoms appear.
Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Minister of Health has told the striking Ghana Registered Nurses’ and Midwives’ Association if their demands are implemented immediately will throw the economy off-gear.
Mintah Akandoh speaking on the strike Ghana Registered Nurses’ and Midwives’ Association warns that implementing the proposed conditions of service not only isn’t in the 2025 budget but could also severely destabilize Ghana’s economy.
The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has rejected a proposal by the government to start implementing their new conditions of service from 2026.
At a meeting held on Monday, June 9 — convened by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and attended by representatives from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Labour, and others — government officials said budgetary constraints was making it impossible to meet the union’s demands this year.
Instead, they proposed deferring payment to the 2026 budget cycle.
The talks, Graphic Online understands collapsed without a resolution.
Commenting on the development in a television interview with TV3 the programme Ghana Tonight on Monday [June 9], the GRNMA Vice President Samuel Alagkora Akologo criticised the government’s proposal, calling it a betrayal of trust.
He said the union would continue its strike until the government honours its commitments.
“We were invited for a meeting this morning. Unfortunately, the government’s proposal was that while they acknowledge the delay, and that we deserve what is contained in the agreement, they have budgetary constraints. For that reason, we must wait until 2026 for the conditions of service to be implemented,” Mr Akologo said.
“This is where some of us now confirm our earlier belief that the employer had no intention of implementing our conditions of service.”
Mr Akologo accused the government of engaging the union in prolonged talks with no genuine intent to resolve the issue.
“Those series of meetings were simply to pretend they were solving the problem when in fact they had no actual interest in dealing with it,” he said.
Disparity in treatment
Mr Akologo expressed frustration that while other professional groups — including the Ghana Medical Association, Services Workers’ Union, Physician Assistants Association, and Certified Registered Nurses Association — have had their agreements implemented, nurses and midwives remain left behind.
“We signed the conditions of service almost at the same time. Theirs was implemented, but ours — because of the court case we had — was delayed. If they say we are essential workers and we are being treated like this, is it fair?” he asked.
He explained that the union had proposed a compromise, suggesting that implementation of their new conditions — initially due to start in July 2024 — could begin following the resolution of their legal dispute last December. However, the government’s latest position offers no immediate relief.
“It would be absurd for anyone to believe that the government would have implemented agreements for other unions and left out nurses and midwives,” Mr Akologo said.
He also rejected the suggestion that the government had no room in the budget to accommodate the nurses’ demands.
“We know this has budgetary implications. They cannot say that when they were implementing benefits for other health professionals, the needs of nurses and midwives were not factored into the 2024 budget,” he argued.
Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare is the Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry
The Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has made a passionate appeal for the renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) during high-level talks with senior US officials in Washington DC, as part of efforts to safeguard Ghana’s trade interests.
The discussions, held on Monday, June 9, 2025, was against the backdrop of the US’ “America First” trade policy launch and 10% tariffs on global exports, including shipments from Ghana which poses increasing challenges for African exporters.
Ofosu-Adjare led a high-powered delegation comprising Ambassador Jane Gasu Ahemtor, Acting Head of Mission Dr Mary Awusi, CEO of the Ghana Free Zones Authority, and the Deputy CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Abdul Razak for the engagement.
On the part of the US, attendees included the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Middle East and Africa, Thomas Bruns and Giancarlo Cavallo from the President’s Advisory Council on Doing Business in Africa.
The meeting focused on critical trade policy matters and to deepen the economic ties between the two nations.
Central to the discussions was the future of AGOA, which is set to expire in September 2025.
Ghana’s trade ministry underscored Ghana’s strong support for the program’s renewal, describing AGOA as a “win-win” framework that has driven significant US investments into Ghana, particularly in the garment and textile industries.
She also voiced key concerns regarding Ghana’s local content policy, the continued importation of over-aged vehicles and excavators, and unsettled debts owed to US companies while assuring stakeholders that Ghana it is actively working to resolve these issues.
Both sides reaffirmed the importance of resuming structured dialogue under the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA), reflecting their shared intent to reinvigorate economic ties.
As part of ongoing engagements, Ofosu-Adjare is scheduled to meet with the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) in coming weeks for continued bilateral consultations.

The event to be held under the theme, “Innovate, Transform, and Sustain: Driving Growth in Ghana’s Horticultural Sector is expected to reposition Ghana’s horticulture industry as a strategic pillar capable of thriving in a 24-hour export-driven economy.
Speaking ahead of the Expo, President of FAGE Davies Narh Korboe, emphasised that the Ghana Horticulture Expo is not just an event but rather a vision materialised to reflect a resolve to transition Ghana from a raw produce exporter into a value-added, globally competitive horticulture powerhouse.
He stated, “We are not only showcasing our fruits, vegetables, tubers, and herbs. We are showcasing the future of Ghana’s economy-one that is inclusive, sustainable, and export-ready, operating around the clock.”
He said the Expo which goes beyond displays will also serve as a strategic convergence of policy, innovation, trade, and investment, B2B matchmaking with international buyers, high-level policy roundtables and expert panels.
Others are export readiness training sessions, a spotlight on women and youth-led agribusinesses and climate-smart technologies.
“But at the heart of the Expo is a story of resilience and hope. It tells the story of a nation that is farming its way out of poverty, creating new jobs for the youth, and transforming women-led agri-enterprises into global brands. Join the Movement,” he said.
“Whether you are an exporter, buyer, investor, policymaker, academic, or tech innovator, the Ghana Horticulture Expo 2025 is your front-row seat to the future of Africa’s green economy,” he added.
Legal luminary Clara Kowlaga Kasser-Tee, is of the view that Parliament’s legislation of lifestyle audit for individuals suspected of amassing unexplained wealth will not help fight corruption.
She believes that the truly corrupt people are smarter and will always beat the system.
To her, such persons will certainly resort to the use of sophisticated structuring that will legally conceal ownership.
The late Oluwasegun Olanrewaju
MORE THAN two months after the tragic death of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju in Ghana, tensions have erupted between the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation over the handling of the incident and the subsequent investigations.
Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju died on March 29, 2025, at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after collapsing during a boxing match under the promotion of MR Boxing Promotions. The incident marked the first time in Ghana’s boxing history that a foreign boxer has died after a bout on Ghanaian soil.
Speaking in an interview on Guide Sports Xtra with Ben Osei Bonsu (BoB), the GBA’s Communications Director, Mohammed Amin Lamptey, expressed deep concern over the Ministry’s approach to the situation. “This is professional boxing. We’ve never had such an incident before, so it was traumatic and an unfortunate learning curve for us all,” he said.
Mr. Lamptey emphasised that the GBA was not directly responsible for bringing the Nigerian boxer to Ghana. “He was invited by a private promoter—not for the Ghana Boxing League—but we still took responsibility. We did everything we could: we were involved in organising, supervising, and assisting in transporting him to the hospital.”
According to him, the GBA was not consulted when the Ministry of Sports and Recreation set up a committee to investigate Gabriel’s death. “The GBA wasn’t informed, invited, or included in any capacity. Even I, who was the ring announcer that night and a key witness, was not called to testify. That’s deeply disappointing.”
He noted that individuals unrelated to the event were invited to the committee instead. “It is unthinkable. We are an autonomous body like the Ghana Football Association—not a subsidiary of the National Sports Authority. We should have been key partners in such a serious matter.”
Mr. Lamptey also revealed that the GBA had begun the process of repatriating Gabriel’s body to Nigeria, but progress stalled due to lack of financial support and conflicting signals from the Ministry. “It’s expensive.
He confirmed the autopsy revealed Gabriel died from cardiac arrest and said the GBA shared the report with the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control. “We didn’t publish it publicly because we wanted to respect the privacy of the deceased.”
Mr. Lamptey added that while dealing with the fallout from the boxer’s death, the GBA has also been battling internal pressures from election-related factions within Ghana’s boxing community. “Some are using this tragedy to attack and distract the GBA leadership. This is not the time for politics.”

As Ghana embarks on a transformative journey to reclaim 25 per cent of its poultry market from imports, a critical challenge looms—how to sustainably feed this ambition.
The feed sector, especially maize and soya, constitutes up to 70 per cent of the cost of poultry production. Any serious attempt to boost local poultry output must be matched with an equally aggressive effort to expand domestic feed grain production.
This is where the Sustainable Livelihoods for the Youth Through Agriculture (SULIYA) initiative offers a timely and practical solution.
SULIYA is a bold intervention designed to engage Ghana’s unemployed youth in structured, commercial agriculture with a focus on high-demand feed crops such as maize and soya.
It aims to bridge two pressing national needs: creating dignified employment for young people and ensuring a reliable, cost-effective feed supply for the poultry industry.
This initiative is not merely about jobs or agriculture—it is about aligning youth energy with national industrial priorities.
By directing youth participation into productive value chains, SULIYA directly tackles the feed bottleneck threatening Ghana’s poultry transformation.
Under SULIYA, the youth will be organised into cooperatives and supported to cultivate maize and soya on block farms established nationwide. These farms will be developed in collaboration with traditional authorities and landowners, who will contribute land as equity in exchange for fair returns.
Each block farm will serve as a productivity hub, equipped with:
-Mechanised services and irrigation support
-Input supply shops and agronomic extension
-Drying facilities and storage warehouses
-Off-take agreements with feed mills and poultry producers
-Technical mentorship and business advisory services
Youth farmers will receive in-kind credit, which is comprised of improved seeds, crop protection and weed control chemicals, fertiliser, and land preparation, linked where possible to government mechanisation programmes and rural service centres. Repayment will occur post-harvest through structured market linkages.
A key innovation under SULIYA is the bundling of credit and input finance with agricultural insurance to mitigate production and weather-related risks. Each youth farmer will benefit from:
-Input packages tied to area-yield or weather-indexed crop insurance
-Post-harvest insurance covering storage and transportation losses
-Credit protection insurance to secure lender repayment and ensure reinvestment
Additionally, social protection mechanisms will be embedded to enhance resilience. Youth farmers will have access to microinsurance products such as:
-Life insurance (group death-in-service cover)
-Hospitalisation insurance for medical emergencies
-Accident and disability insurance for on-farm risks
-Informal pension schemes for future security
-These low-cost protections reduce vulnerability and ensure youth remain economically active despite unforeseen shocks.
To meet the 25 per cent poultry, import substitution target (100,000 metric tonnes), Ghana requires: 222,222 metric tonnes (MT) of poultry feed annually, comprising: 133,333 MT of maize and 77,778 MT of soya meal.
Assuming yields of 4 MT/ha for maize and 2 MT/ha for soya under improved agronomy, the following land area is needed: 33,333 hectares of maize and 38,889 hectares of soya.
This land requirement may be reduced where multiple cropping seasons are feasible. With 10,000 youth each cultivating 2–4 hectares under the SULIYA model, these targets become attainable within three years—injecting over GH¢500 million annually into rural economies.
SULIYA introduces a novel financing pathway—structured crowdfunding—to mobilise domestic capital from Ghanaian workers, entrepreneurs, and the diaspora. This platform will:
-Enable Ghanaians with surplus income to invest in high-impact agribusiness ventures
-Ensure transparency, digital tracking, and regular performance reporting
-Foster patriotic capital mobilisation for food security and job creation
-Complement donor grants, private equity, and concessional loans in a blended finance approach
-By inviting working Ghanaians to co-invest in irrigation, land preparation and inputs, SULIYA becomes a shared national development enterprise with tangible returns.
SULIYA is uniquely positioned to address the systemic barriers youth face in agriculture:
-Access to land – via partnerships with traditional authorities and landowners
-Access to finance – through bundled credit, crowdfunding, and public-private mechanisms
-Access to inputs – structured through cooperatives and service providers
-Access to markets – secured through pre-agreed off-take arrangements
-Access to skills and mentorship – via agronomic training and incubation centres
-Access to social protection – through integrated insurance and cooperative schemes
SULIYA’s long-term vision includes:
-Youth agribusiness incubators for technical and soft skills development
-Finance and Innovation Labs to pilot digital agriculture solutions
-Warehouse Receipt Systems (WRS) to support price stabilisation
-Processing and packaging facilities for on-farm value addition
-Inclusive strategies that prioritise participation by women and marginalised youth
Reviving Ghana’s poultry sector is not just about raising birds—it is about feeding them. And feeding them affordably, sustainably and locally. SULIYA provides a holistic, scalable pathway to youth-driven feed grain production, underpinned by domestic capital mobilisation, de-risking instruments, and inclusive community ownership.
With bundled insurance, structured finance, and strategic youth engagement, Ghana can reduce its dependence on imported feed and poultry, create dignified jobs, and foster rural transformation.
Let’s feed poultry—and in doing so, feed prosperity.
Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif
Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif has become the centre of discussion on social media after he was spotted on the red carpet at the 2025 BET Awards, tipping Ayra Starr to win the Best International Act in the award scheme.
Black Sherif, although in the same category as Ayra Star, tipped the Nigerian female singer to win the awards when he was asked who deserves to win.
When further asked about how he reacted after discovering he had been nominated for the Best International Act award, Black Sherif noted “I was in the car, maybe car or chilling but I don’t think I was doing something extraordinary, I was normal.
“Someone called me and told me that there is another nomination. I went online to check it and it was true. Now we are here, Los Angeles.”
Black Sherif, as predicted, subsequently lost the Best International Act award to Nigerian musician, Ayraa Starr.
That particular category featured Brazilian musician, Any Gabrielly, Ayra Starr, UK musician Basky, Black Sherif, Rema, Tyla, Uncle Waffles, and Shallipopi, among others.

Parliament to draft law supporting lifestyle audits, Speaker of Parliament, Bagbin announces
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has announced a proposed legislation to investigate public officials, politically exposed persons, and private individuals with a “questionable lifestyle” inconsistent with their source of income.
In a bold step to combat corruption, Parliament plans to draft a law backing lifestyle audits for individuals suspected of acquiring unexplained wealth.
According to a report by Citinewsroom.com on June 10, the proposed law is part of a broader initiative aimed at strengthening the country’s fight against corruption.
The lifestyle audit law aims to:
– Curb corruption: Serve as a deterrent for persons who acquire unexplained wealth through corrupt means and restore public confidence.
– Enhance accountability: Grant authorities the power to scrutinise the lifestyles of public servants and private citizens.
– Target unexplained wealth: Investigate individuals suspected of possessing wealth they cannot justify.
Key stakeholders weigh in:
– Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman has begun discussions on the initiative, demonstrating the government’s firm resolve and support of the anti-corruption fight.
– The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) supports constitutional reforms to back lifestyle audits and asset seizures.
– Civil Society Organisations have expressed strong support for the initiative.
This move marks a significant step in the fight against corruption.
Once passed, the legislation will empower state institutions to investigate the lifestyles of public officials, politically exposed persons, and private individuals whose standard of living seems inconsistent with their declared income sources.
“I am currently receiving extensive input to initiate legislation on lifestyle audits. It is no surprise that this issue is gaining prominence in the speeches of senior officials and civil society organisations. I am encouraged that the Vice President and the Office of the Anti-Corruption Fight, Parliament, draft a law on lifestyle audits – Bagbin.

“We will legislate this and put an end to individuals flaunting ill-gotten wealth in the faces of ordinary Ghanaians,” he further added.
By empowering authorities to investigate unexplained wealth, the proposed law could effectively stop individuals from flaunting ill-gotten wealth.
