A chief who helped end the doctor strike at Tamale Teaching Hospital says hospital leaders failed to provide basic supplies. Dr. Jacob Mahama from the Dagbon palace told reporters Friday that doctors need proper tools to help patients. The doctors returned to emergency care after royal representatives stepped in. He pointed out that poor management caused the work stoppage.
Dr. Mahama noted that patients often became angry with doctors when treatments failed due to missing equipment. He wondered why other teaching hospitals across Ghana operate without similar problems. The Dagbon leader serves as Zangbalun Lana and heads the team sent by Yaa Naa Abukari Mahama II, who rules as Overlord of Dagbon. His comments highlight serious issues...
Parliament members from the NDC party say local authorities must decide their sanitation partnerships freely. The majority group stated Friday that district assemblies need not accept any forced contracts. Parliament leader Mahama Ayariga reminded everyone that lawmakers approved President Mahama's plan to send most common funds directly to these local bodies. This gives assemblies full control over their development choices. The caucus emphasized its independence from any outside pressure.
The NDC parliament group wants nothing to do with the Youth Employment Agency contract with Zoomlion Ghana Limited. They reject claims that their sanitation committee tried to stop YEA from changing this agreement. The committee chairman told...
The University of Cape Coast needs more money for research work. Vice Chancellor Johnson Nyarko Boampong called the lack of funding a major problem during a graduation ceremony. He asked alumni to help the top-ranked school in Ghana and West Africa. The university wants to improve its research efforts despite limited resources.
At its 57th congregation, UCC awarded degrees to 1,187 graduate students. The graduates received various advanced degrees, from doctoral to master's level qualifications. The school still faces building shortages and research funding problems. Officials plan to gather resources for both research activities and new buildings. They aim to attract more international students through better programs.

Chiefs in Tema are upset about President Mahama picking Ms. Ebi Bright as the new head of their local government. They wanted someone from their community for the job. The council believes other towns have locals appointed to similar positions. They feel left out despite giving up their farmlands for industrial growth.
The traditional leaders say they feel like outsiders on their home soil. They expected the government would choose a native person to lead the Tema Metropolitan area. Other coastal towns have local people running their affairs, which makes Tema chiefs wonder why they face different treatment. The council clarified that they welcome non-natives as residents but think the current situation seems unfair.

A Ghanaian chief wants police to find justice after a soldier killed a civilian at Nyinahin. Chief Nana Amanpene Boateng II met with police leaders about the shooting. He said the officer acted on purpose against young mourners who broke no laws. The rule of law must apply to everyone regardless of uniform status. Nobody should kill innocent people without consequences.
The armed soldiers stopped their vehicle when they saw a mourner wearing military clothes. One soldier tried to take the uniform away from him. This started a fight between the mourners and military officers. A soldier fired his gun during this clash, killing one person instantly. Three other people suffered severe injuries.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered reached 4 million players just four days after its release. Bethesda Game Studios shared this news earlier today about the game, which launched on April 22. The strong performance makes sense, given that the original Oblivion sold three million copies within its first year. Many players accessed the remaster through a Game Pass subscription instead of buying it separately.
Fans knew about the game early despite limited official marketing. Bethesda stayed quiet until one day before revealing it, but leaks circulated since early 2025. Several insiders correctly predicted an April surprise release. When the game appeared on Tuesday, excitement had already built among Elder Scrolls enthusiasts...
Apple plans to add its AI tools to iPhones in China next month. This might help its sales there after seven straight quarters of decline. Chinese phone makers have passed Apple with new designs that Chinese buyers want. Apple keeps using the same look for iPhones instead of making fold-up models or other fresh designs. The tech giant also hasn't offered its Apple Intelligence features in China, making newer models seem just like older ones.
The company will release iOS 18.5 in May, which should bring Apple Intelligence to Chinese users. Apple noticed sales do better in places where these AI features exist. The company recently turned on these services for European Union countries with iOS 18.4. Though Apple hasn't officially announced...
Uganda's top general says Joseph Kabila can't rule Congo again. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba openly backed President Félix Tshisekedi on social media last Friday. He criticized Kabila for letting rebel groups operate freely during his presidency and promised strong support for Tshisekedi, calling him "my big brother." These comments came right after Rwanda and Congo signed peace principles with US help.
Congo matters greatly to Uganda's economy. The nation ranks as Uganda's second-largest export destination after Kenya. Uganda sent about $500 million worth of goods to Congo last year, and unofficial trade adds another $200 million to that total. Congo joined the East African Community in 2022, which boosted business between both countries...
