A young man named Kirchuffs Atengble wants to improve the Volta Region. He believes he can do this by joining a special group called the Council of State. Mr. Atengble, who is 37 years old, studies how computers and information work.
Mr. Atengble promises to give all the money he earns from this job to help businesses grow in his region. He likes President Mahama's idea of reviewing Ghana's rules and improving them. He thinks other leaders before him didn't understand what people really needed.

A wise woman named Maame Grace wants to make March 14, 2025, a special day called World Oshun Day. She asked the people who run Ghana to include this day in their big calendar of fun things people can do when they visit Ghana.
Maame Grace talks about something amazing that happens in the sky. Sometimes, the moon turns a pretty red-copper color, like a shiny penny. She says this happens because of Oshun, who people believe is a powerful goddess who lives in rivers. When the moon changes color, Maame Grace says, it helps people feel more connected to their feelings and thoughts.
"Oshun brings us copper from the sky," Maame Grace tells everyone. She wants people to wear copper things like necklaces and bracelets on this special day. She...

The government wants to help people pay less for their internet data. Many people in Ghana have told leaders that data costs a lot of money, making it hard for them to use the internet.
Mr. Samuel Nartey George, who works as the Minister of Communications, shared some good news. He plans to make a special team of people from different government offices work together. This team will find ways to make internet data cheaper for everyone.

The government wants many different companies to help clean up trash in Ghana. Mr Mohammed, who leads the Environment Ministry, says letting more companies collect trash will improve things for everyone. He also wants small companies and local groups to join this work.
Clean streets help people stay healthy. When trash sits around, it can make people sick and cause problems like stomach pain. Some people burn their trash outside because they have nowhere else to put it, which makes the air dirty and hard to breathe.
Mr Mohammed visited the office that protects Ghana's environment. There, he met Professor Klutse and other important people. They discussed ways to fix trash problems and make Ghana cleaner.

The passport office in Ghana wants to help people all day and night. The Foreign Affairs Minister, Mr Ablakwa, shared this good news.

A dangerous fire started at the Kiteezi dumpsite last Saturday. The fire came from deep under the ground, where a gas called methane burned. People knew this might happen because the dumpsite had had many problems before.
The firefighters worked hard but needed special dirt instead of water to stop the flames. The city office did not have the right tools to put dirt on the fire, and many people were angry about this.
A man named John Kikonyogo from a group called FDC said the government made big mistakes. He warned everyone that the fire could cause a huge explosion like a volcano if nobody fixed it fast. The dumpsite closed last year after a bad accident killed people on August 9, 2024.
Mr. Kikonyogo wants the government to help the...
People in Bufunda Ward cannot use their water taps. The pipes broke during road work three weeks ago, so many families must walk far away to find clean water for drinking and washing.
"We feel very sad about this problem. Our families and shops need water every day," said one person who lives there. The leader of Bufunda, Mr. Benon Kaimutsya, says many important places like schools and hospitals cannot work properly without water.

Ms. Agnes Amanya runs the water company office in Ibanda. She tells everyone her workers are trying hard to repair the broken...
People feel worried about some land in Mbale City. The leaders told police workers to leave their offices near the city court. Many think bad people might try to take this land away from everyone.
On January 16, Mr. Ambrose Ocheng wrote a letter telling the workers to go work at different places. He did not explain clearly why they needed to move, which made everyone feel scared about what might happen to the land.
Robert Kisesi helps lead the city. He wants to know why these changes happened fast without anyone telling him the real reason. He thinks someone might want to steal this special piece of land. The land is in a very nice place, and the city needs it to improve things later.
Another leader, Abdallah Magambo, says everything...
