Free SHS Policy Criticized for Poor Implementation and Political Influence.

Sulemana Braimah, Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), has voiced concerns over the Free Senior High School (SHS) initiative, describing it as a well-intentioned but poorly implemented program that has been politicized.

Ghana Seeks Malaysian Investment to Boost Palm Oil Production.

Ghana is calling on Malaysian investors to partner with local firms to develop the country's oil palm industry and reduce its reliance on imports.
