play videoImage of Alex Djiku telling Thomas Partey to have the armband after Jordan was subbed off

Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku refused to wear the captain’s armband twice during Ghana’s resounding win over Chad on Friday, March 21, 2025.

The Fenerbahce defender was first offered the armband when substantive captain Jordan Ayew was subbed off in the second half, but he declined.

Ayew then gave the armband to Thomas Partey, who offered it back to Djiku, but the latter insisted that Partey wear it. The Arsenal man subsequently spoke to the bench before putting it on.

As the game wore on, Partey was also substituted. On his way out, he attempted to hand the armband over to Djiku, who declined once again and instead passed it to Mohammed Kudus, who wore it for the rest of the match.

According to the new captaincy structure, Jordan Ayew is the main skipper, with Djiku serving as deputy.

However, the incident has raised concerns about whether Djiku has accepted the role, especially after Partey—who previously served as deputy to Andre Ayew—refused to take on the deputy role in the new structure.

Despite the tense captaincy situation, the team got the job done, beating Chad 5-0 to go top of the table. The emphatic win also ended their six-game winless run.

President John Dramani Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has stressed the urgent need to take a critical look at how the country’s markets are planned.

“It is time for Ghana to start rethinking how we plan our markets to prevent the recurrence of fires,” he stated during a visit to the devastating fire disaster scene at Adum, the central business district of Kumasi.

He described the situation as very sad, considering the extent of damage caused by the fire, which started early in the morning on Friday, March 21, 2025.

Three major storey-buildings, which contained many stores, along with hundreds of container shops, stalls, and table-top shops, with merchandise worth millions of Ghana cedis, were destroyed in the devastating fire that occurred between Hello FM and the Kumasi Central Market.

No casualties were recorded, but two people, including a fire officer, were reported injured in the incident.

The lack of access roads to the enclave between Hello FM and the Kumasi Central Market impeded efforts by firefighters to control the blaze in time.

President John Dramani Mahama thanked officers of the Ghana National Fire Service for their prompt response, which helped contain the fire from spreading beyond the enclave.

According to him, information he received from fire officers indicated that the lack of access contributed to the inability of fire tenders to put out the fire in time.

He extended sympathies to the affected traders and said he had asked NADMO, the Regional Coordinating Council, and other relief agencies to offer support to the affected traders while efforts were made to rebuild the market.

Dr Daniel McKorley, Chief Executive Officer of McDan Group of Companies

Dr. Daniel McKorley, Chief Executive Officer of McDan Group of Companies, has urged Ghanaian businesses to embrace innovation and creativity to establish themselves as global leaders in sales and entrepreneurship.

Speaking at the launch of the National Sales Leaders Conference (NSLC) 2025 in Accra, Dr. McKorley emphasized the need for businesses to adapt to an increasingly competitive environment by leveraging technology, data, and customer-centric strategies.

“Every successful business is built on the ability to understand market needs, create solutions, and consistently deliver value,” he said.

“If we are to create jobs and build strong businesses, we must equip our sales professionals with the tools, skills, and strategies to thrive in this new era.”

Dr. McKorley noted that sales had evolved beyond mere transactions to include customer engagement and long-term relationship-building.

“It is not just about selling; it is about creating value that attracts and retains customers,” he stated, adding that investing in sales innovation would not only boost profits but also generate more job opportunities for the youth.

The NSLC, scheduled for August 20–22 at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), is themed: “Redefining Sales Excellence for Today’s Dynamic Market.”

The conference aims to equip businesses, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders with the insights, strategies, and networks required to thrive in an evolving market.

Michael Abbiw, Convenor of NSLC 2025, said the event was expected to attract 2,500 attendees from diverse industries.

“Last year, we hosted 39 speakers; this year, we are bringing 52, ensuring even richer conversations and insights,” he said.

“Our focus is on creating meaningful engagements—providing opportunities for direct connections with high-value prospects, sparking collaborations, and building partnerships.”

Mr. Abbiw, also the President-Elect of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Ghana (CIMG), reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to raising standards in marketing and sales excellence.

He indicated that the conference would explore key topics, including “The Role of Ethics and Trust in Modern Sales Practices.”

“We will dissect how ethical selling is a competitive advantage. In a world where trust is hard to earn and easy to lose, businesses that lead with integrity will be the ones that stand the test of time.”

Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong, Chief Executive Officer of Special Group of Companies, underscored the importance of strong sales teams in business growth.

“Success in business is not about the product alone but about the networks we build, the trust we cultivate, and the strategic partnerships we form,” he said.

“For businesses to thrive in this new era, sales must be embedded at every level of the organization. Sales must be seen not as a department but as the very pulse of the company.”

Idorenyen Enang, President and Chair of the Council of the National Institute of Marketing, Nigeria, described NSLC 2025 as a significant platform to reshape sales and marketing approaches in the region.

“This is not just about learning from experts; it’s about aligning our strategies with the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead,” he noted.

The National Sales Leaders Conference has positioned itself as a leading event for thought leadership in sales and marketing.

This year’s edition is expected to drive conversations on best practices, industry trends, and the future of sales in Ghana and beyond.

Andrew Akoto, Country Managing Partner, KPMG in Ghana

A KPMG-UNDP post-budget report has highlighted how key tax reforms in 2025 can affect growth and productivity in the economy.

According to the budget highlights, tax reforms in the 2025 budget including the betting tax, E-Levy and the Growth and Sustainability Levy are recipes for economic development.

The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, announced the adjustment of the personal income tax-free threshold of resident individuals from GH¢490 to approximately GH¢539.

KPMG said: “Adjusting the tax-free threshold of the personal income tax band to reflect the minimum wage increase aligns with the principle of progressive taxation. This provides relief to low-income earners and indirectly increases their disposable income.”

On the Growth and Sustainability Levy the government proposed to increase the rate from 1% to 3% on gross production of mining companies to benefit from the sustained increase in global gold prices.

However, KPMG said: “The proposed GSL adjustment is to enable the government to have a greater share in the windfall revenues accruing to players in the industry.

“Although this is expected to bring in additional revenue to the Government, some of the players in the industry have stability clauses in their development agreements that protect them from adverse tax changes. To maximize the revenue potential from this proposal, there should be extensive stakeholder engagement,” it added.

Also, the proposal to extend the GSL and SIL yet again, potentially undermines the concept of certainty of tax policy.

To bring more certainty to tax policy, it will be imperative to consider more permanent proposals. This will allow taxpayers to plan their tax affairs over the long term.

They added that abolishing the Emissions levy could increase the usage of electric vehicles in the country.

“Increasing citizen’s preference for electric vehicles requires more than just making them affordable.

“Other factors, such as charging stations, readily available skilled labour for maintenance, and concessionary loans to finance purchases, must also be explored Combining these efforts could accelerate the transition to electric vehicles,” KPMG’s report noted.

Boxing heavyweight legend George Foreman has died aged 76, according to his family.

Foreman, known as Big George in the ring, competed for decades starting in the 1960s, winning gold at the Olympics and numerous title belts, including the world heavyweight title twice.

He lost his first title to Muhammad Ali in their famous Rumble in the Jungle fight in 1974. But his professional boxing career boasted 68 knock outs, almost double that of Ali. He lost five bouts over his career.

Foreman won his first world heavyweight championship in 1973 then did it again in 1994 when he was 45. He retired from the sport in 1997.

His family said in a post on Instagram on Friday night: “Our hearts are broken.

“A devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grand and great grandfather, he lived a life marked by unwavering faith, humility, and purpose.”

The statement added: “A humanitarian, an Olympian, and two-time heavyweight champion of the world, He was deeply respected – a force for good, a man of discipline, conviction, and a protector of his legacy, fighting tirelessly to preserve his good name – for his family,” the family said, describing Foreman in a post on Instagram.

While he was a household name in his athletic career, Foreman also became well-known for his iconic George Foreman Grill, which millions have purchased over the decades since it hit the market in 1994.

Foreman has a dozen children. Five of his sons are named George.

He explained on his website that he named them after him so they “they would always have something in common”.

“I say to them, ‘If one of us goes up, then we all go up together,” he explained. “And if one goes down, we all go down together!'”

Charity Gardiner (second from L) Ambassador of Turkey to Ghana (third from R)

The Ahafo Region will soon benefit from support from the Turkish government in areas such as agriculture, reforestation, capacity building, health, mechanized boreholes, education, and an investment and trade conference scheduled for May 2025.

The Ambassador of Turkey to Ghana, Huseyin Gungor, has assured that his government and its counterparts will collaborate with the Ahafo Region to support skills training and apprenticeship programs, including bakery, soap making, dressmaking, bead making, and more.

The Turkish ambassador also assured that his government would provide the Ahafo Region with investors to support the construction of a regional hospital and an ultra-modern regional medical school.

In the agricultural sector, the Turkish government has agreed to provide an investor to establish a cocoa processing plant in the region. The investor will also assist with reforestation efforts by planting trees in areas where forests once existed.

This initiative aims to restore previously destroyed or damaged forests and woodlands. Additionally, the Turkish government will support the provision of mechanized boreholes and potable drinking water.

The Turkish ambassador to Ghana stated that his government would organize an investment and trade conference for the region in Turkey in May 2025 to explore business opportunities for Ahafo entrepreneurs and business executives.

Huseyin Gungor made these commitments known when the Ahafo Regional Minister, Hon. Charity Gardiner, and a delegation paid a courtesy call on him at the Turkish Embassy in Accra on Friday, March 14, 2025.

He further stated that the Ahafo Region has vast opportunities in mineral resources, agriculture, health, education, and tourism. Therefore, it is essential to explore these potentials.

Huseyin Gungor commended Ghana for its political stability and strong democracy, stating that these factors have made the country highly attractive for investment and trade.

The Ahafo Regional Minister, Charity Gardiner, expressed gratitude to the Turkish government for strengthening and sustaining good relations between Ghana and Turkey over the years.

She also called for the enhancement of new economic cooperation in trade and investment between Turkey and the Ahafo Region for mutual benefit.

Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team, the Black Stars, have moved to first place in Group I in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Black Stars jumped from second to first after beating Chad 5-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21 to score its fourth win five games.

Ghana had five different players score in the big win with goals coming from Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu and Ernest Nuamah.

Madagascar take on Ghana next on Monday, March 24 in Morocco at 19:00 GMT and rank second in the group behind Ghana with 10 points and have a goal difference of six. Ghana has a goal difference of seven.

Only the top placed nation at the end of the round robin format of playing out qualification games, qualifies automatically to the 2026 FIFA World Cup that will be held in USA, Mexico and Canada.

Ghana is aiming to qualify to the FIFA World Cup for the fifth time but is coming off a disastrous 2025 AFCON qualification where the country failed to qualify to the competition for the first time in 20 years.

Scroll down to watch the full breakdown of the standings.

As Ghana continues to navigate its path toward economic recovery and growth, the private sector is advocating for the implementation of the 24-hour economy policy to be aligned with the country’s industrial policy and the regulatory framework established by the Public Procurement Authority (PPA).

This will prevent contracts from being awarded solely to government favourites or politically connected companies and create fair competition among businesses to help 
boost productivity and create more jobs.

At the KPMG Post-Budget Event, the president of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), Dr Humphrey Ayim-Darke, called for a national effort to implement a 24-hour economy in Ghana.

Forum

Speaking during a panel discussion at the KPMG Post Budget Forum in Accra on Thursday, Dr Humphrey Ayim-Darke, stressed the need for the 24-hour economy policy to be part of a comprehensive strategy that supports industrial growth, rather than being implemented as a standalone initiative.

The event, organised in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Ghana, on the theme: “Resetting the Economy for the Ghana we want”, brought together industry players, policymakers, international organisations, civil society and academia to discuss the 2025 Budget and Economic Policy Statement of the government presented to Parliament last Tuesday and its impact on the business community.

Measuring success

He cited the One District, One Factory (1D1F) policy as a lesson in how isolated initiatives may fall short of their full potential.

“We pray for a conscious effort to tailor the 24-hour economy to Ghana’s industrial policy. It should not be isolated like the 1D1F. As the private sector, we are determined to support the government through this process and execute a clear agenda.

Let the 24-hour economy be tied to the PPA conditions we have set so that we can use public funds through social interventions to transform the industrial sector,” Dr Ayim-Darke said.

He added that the industrial transformation necessary to drive Ghana’s recovery and long-term growth must be measured by tangible outcomes.

“The success of industrial transformation would be measured by tangible outcomes such as the number of factories built under government initiatives,” he added.

The Country Managing Partner for KPMG Ghana, Andy Akoto, said as the country steers its economic future, policy-making and evidenced-based reforms will be key to balancing revenue needs with sustainable inclusive development.

He added that KPMG was ready to support the government in offering its expertise and network to design policies, strengthen systems and forge partnerships that will deliver economic prosperity for the people of Ghana.

In a speech read on her behalf, the Deputy Resident Representative of UNDP Ghana, Fati Attahiru, said the optimism expressed by business leaders about Ghana’s economic recovery was encouraging. 

“However, that also comes with high expectations for bold, pragmatic policy actions that will lead to sustainable and inclusive economic transformation,” she said.

Accra, March 21, GNA – Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Minister of Foreign Affairs, says Ghana will leverage its full membership in the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) to strengthen ties between Anglophone and Francophone African communities. 

Speaking at the 55th anniversary flag raising ceremony of La Francophonie in Accra, he emphasised Ghana’s commitment to shared values of democracy, human rights, cultural diversity, and sustainable development.  

“Ghana, under the leadership of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, intends to use her new status with the OIF to promote the values and principles that bind us together.  

“We reaffirm our commitment to building bridges between Ghana and Anglophone and Francophone communities,” Mr. Ablakwa said. 

The Minister underscored Ghana’s dedication to fostering regional peace, stability, and shared principles, including democracy, human rights, cultural diversity, and sustainable development. 

He stressed the importance of promoting these values, especially in light of the current regional and global political climate. 

“Indeed, in the context of our current regional and global landscape, the promotion of these ideals has become even more imperative,” he said. 

Acknowledging contributions to Ghana’s full membership status, Mr. Ablakwa praised Ambassador Thai Hong Mai, the West African Representative of the OIF, her team, and member states.  

Ghana attained full membership in October 2024. 

Mr. Maher Kheir, Ambassador of Lebanon and President of the Group of Francophonie Ambassadors, remarked that Ghana’s achievement reflected its commitment to bilingualism, cooperation, and engagement with the Francophone world.  

“More than ever, Ghana is poised to play a key role in ECOWAS and regional diplomacy, bridging the gap between English-speaking and French-speaking African countries,” he said.

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has shifted focus to Ghana’s crucial clash against Madagascar after his team’s emphatic 5-0 victory over Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Goals from Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohamed Salifu, and Ernest Nuamah secured all three points for the Black Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium, propelling them to the top of Group I with 12 points — two ahead of second-placed Madagascar, whom they face on Monday, March 24, in Morocco.

Speaking after the game, Otto Addo stressed the importance of maintaining their position at the top of the table.

“It’s always easier when you’re on top. We want to stay there. We will try to do everything to beat Madagascar on Monday to keep the top spot,” he noted.

He also acknowledged the difficulty of the upcoming fixture but emphasised the need to stay focused.

“There’s nothing we can do [about the fixture schedule]; we have to accept it. It will be tough; they [Madagascar] have a really good team,” he said.

Addo further highlighted the urgency of preparations ahead of the game.

“The preparations start now, and it’s good that we won so we can focus on Madagascar,” he added.

A win in that match would further solidify the Black Stars’ place at the top and move them closer to securing qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Before the game Tuchel created plenty of headlines when he said England looked like they had played with fear at Euro 2024 under his predecessor Gareth Southgate.

He also suggested he wanted them to play Premier League-style physical football.

Known for his tactical flexibility, nobody was quite certain what formation Tuchel would opt for – but he sent England out in a 4-2-3-1.

While Tuchel’s teams are normally known for their intensity and pressing, it was hard for England to show either against a team who set up as defensively as Albania, especially in the first half.

And the German is also still in the early stages of his reign – having only met his players four days ago for the first time since officially taking over in January.

“Thomas Tuchel’s had the squad for three days – you can’t expect to see a different England team,” said former Three Lions midfielder Leon Osman on BBC Radio 5 Live.

“We won the football match. Once we got ahead there was no urgency.

“We want to be entertained. There is a certain element of control which is good in tournament football.

“At the minute we’re not in a tournament, we want to be entertained.”

England had 74% of the ball and 12 shots to Albania’s three – with the hosts recording all six efforts on target in the game.

In the opening 45 minutes they completed 437 passes, the most on Opta’s records of any England first half.

The visitors did try to play more after the break, but England’s backline were only tested a few times by substitute Armando Broja.

The result itself was routine – new England manager or not. The Three Lions are unbeaten in 38 home qualifiers for World Cups or Euros since November 2007, with 34 wins.

“It was a difficult game from a spectating perspective,” said former England defender Matt Upson on BBC Radio 5 Live.

“Once we got into the rhythm, it was very much an England game at Wembley against inferior opposition where they struggled to break them down.

“We are all wanting to see how Thomas Tuchel’s plan is going to happen.

“There are so many questions, but ultimately they have to manage the game itself and England did that well.”

Upson added that Tuchel probably learned to “understand what it feels like and looks like tactically” to play against a team in a low block like Albania’s.

President John Dramani Mahama has lauded the Black Stars following their emphatic 5-0 victory over Chad in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, celebrating the team’s performance while cautioning against complacency.

In a social media post after the game, President Mahama expressed his delight, humorously noting that the impressive win gave him a “good appetite for dinner.”

“Congrats guys! Let this victory not make us complacent. This should be the beginning of bringing back the LOVE,” he wrote, calling for sustained momentum as the team prepares for its next fixture.

With Ghana’s qualification hopes still in the balance, the President urged the Black Stars to remain focused ahead of their upcoming clash against Madagascar, emphasizing the need for consistency in their World Cup campaign.

His message echoes the growing optimism among Ghanaians, who are eager to see the national team return to the global stage after missing out on the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The Black Stars will now shift their focus to their crucial encounter against Madagascar, with hopes of building on their dominant performance and strengthening their push for a spot at the 2026 World Cup.

The Deputy Attorney-General (A-G), Dr. Justice Srem Sai, has emphasised the importance of due process, cautioning against treating individuals as guilty before a court of law determines otherwise.

His remarks come in the wake of the arrest of the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Mr Boahene was apprehended at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) upon his arrival from London on a British Airways flight.

The joint operation, conducted at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, involved EOCO investigators led by Deputy Director Raymond Archer and officials from the Attorney-General’s Department.

In a Facebook post on Friday, March 21, Dr. Srem Sai disclosed that he had visited Mr Boahene and his wife, Madam Angela Adjei-Boateng, who are currently in custody assisting with investigations.

He noted that both individuals had access to legal representation and were being treated well.

Dr Sai stressed the need for fairness in legal proceedings, stating, “No one, regardless of the nature of the suspicion or accusations, should be treated as guilty until they’re actually proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.”
