President Mahama handed out farming supplies for the national food program on Saturday. He handed maize seeds, fertilizers, a truck, and tractors to prison services and national service officials in Techiman. Everyone needs to work together to transform farming into an engine for growth because the Feed Ghana Program offers real action rather than empty words. He admitted farming challenges exist but believes the program will bring great results. All farmers, businesses, financial groups, and partners should join forces to achieve the best results from this effort.
The program creates new ways to grow more food with modern farm techniques and better systems across Ghana. Farmers will have service centers that give them tools, good...
The Industrial and Commercial Workers Union wants government help for struggling state newspapers. The Daily Graphic and the Ghanaian Times face money problems that threaten their jobs. Union leader Morgan Ayawine raised these concerns during a regional conference on Friday. He said workers at these papers have missed salary payments.
He asked officials to provide new funding so these media outlets could stay relevant. Ayawine also urged the government to restart Neoplan Ghana Limited to make regular electric buses. This would help transportation issues and keep people employed. The union wants PBC Plc to receive emergency funds too. This company once employed 30,000 workers but currently has fewer than 1,000 people who haven't been...
Bosuso residents can soon earn money from their new black soap factory. The community built the facility with help from the Fanteakwa South District Assembly and Advocates for Community Alternatives.

The company founder, Freda Obeng-Ampofo, showed everyone the production steps. Bosuso people already bought the ingredients needed to start making soap.

Some NDC party members from Talensi Constituency have come out against John Millim Naabwomya becoming District Chief Executive. They believe he maintains close connections with the opposition NPP party. The group fears these ties might harm NDC's chances in future elections. President Mahama announced the nomination last Friday. Shortly afterward, someone apparently set fire to the local NDC office.
Charles King Luu spoke for unhappy party members at a Sunday press conference in Tongo. He asked President Mahama to cancel the nomination right away. The group worries about keeping party unity strong. Local support remains important for party success. The announcement happened on April 11, just two days before the press event. These...
Union leader Morgan Ayawine says board chairmen meddle excessively in rural bank operations across Ghana. He shared these concerns at a regional conference in Wa on April 7. Many chairmen write staff queries directly or even sign firing letters themselves. These actions break normal corporate governance rules and threaten proper management and worker relations.
Ayawine explained that boards should create policies, but management handles daily operations, including staff discipline and bargaining. When board members cross these lines, it creates workplace confusion and damages trust in leadership systems. He called for changes to fix governance practices at rural banks nationwide. The union official asked delegates to develop strong...
Ghana spends almost $400 million yearly on chicken imports, which President Mahama calls shameful for the country. He plans to support 54 people to produce four million birds, creating about 10,000 metric tons of chicken. His government aims to boost livestock farming, including cattle, goats, and sheep, through better breed access.
The president announced these plans when launching the Feed Ghana Programme in Techiman. The program will develop farming areas with irrigation systems, better roads, electricity, and warehouses to attract private investors. Mahama gave maize seeds, fertilizers, a truck, and tractors to groups like the Ghana Prisons Service to help implement the program. He asked everyone to unite behind this agricultural...

The minister asked the board to release about GHC 258 million for the School Feeding Program right away. He suggested they review how GETFund money goes to the Free Senior High School Program because he believes the fund should help but not be the main source of higher education...
A citizen group leader has slammed security agents who tried to arrest local MP Rev. John Ntim Fordjour at his home. Mr. Adu Gyamfi of the Concerned Citizens of Assin South called the action wrong during a press event in Nyankumasi Ahenkro. The MP recently claimed two aircraft were involved in money laundering and drug trafficking, which sparked the security response.
Gyamfi said the attempted arrest violated the MP's freedom and sent a bad message to people who care about the truth. His group sees this as an attack on everyone in the Assin South Constituency. They want all harassment of their representative to stop right away. The group asked Parliament and civil society groups to speak against what they call government power abuse...
