Traoré’s Footsteps: Ghana Tells Foreign Miners to Leave

In a bold move echoing the policies of Burkina Faso's President Ibrahim Traoré, Ghana has announced a significant shift in its mining sector. Effective May 1, 2025, the Ghanaian government will prohibit foreigners from trading or purchasing artisanally mined gold within the country. This decision marks a pivotal step in Ghana's ongoing battle against illegal mining activities, commonly referred to as "galamsey," and aims to reclaim control over its valuable natural resources. Ghana's New Mining Policy The newly established Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) will replace the previous licensing agency, the Precious Minerals Marketing Co. Under the new law signed by President John Dramani Mahama on April 2, only GoldBod will be authorized to buy, sell, assay, and export gold produced by licensed small-scale miners. Non-compliance with this regulation will result in criminal charges. Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson emphasized […]

Road Safety Authority gives Assemblies 21 days to remove unauthorised billboards in Accra

The Acting Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Mr Abraham Amaliba, has given municipal and district assemblies in the Greater Accra region a 21-day ultimatum to remove unauthorised billboards that pose risks to motorists and pedestrians. Mr Amaliba issued the directive during an interview with Citi FM on Wednesday, April 30, citing the increasing number of unregulated billboards—particularly those erected on road medians and near intersections—as a serious safety concern.

They are the ones who license these advertising companies and allow the erection of these billboards. So they should remove them,” he said. He cited specific locations, such as Boundary Road in East Legon and parts of the Ring […]

BoG stirs Crypto appetite — Industry players hail move

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has stirred the appetite for its foray into the cryptocurrency market with the expected launch of a regulatory framework for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and virtual currencies in September.

Our industry doesn’t respect legends —Sherifa Gunu

GHANAIAN songstress Sherifa Gunu has voiced her concerns regarding the treatment of creatives in the country, particularly older artistes who have made significant contributions to the nation's music scene. She believes these talented individuals often go unrecognised and disrespected despite their substantial input toward Ghana's creative landscape. n a recent conversation with Graphic Showbiz, Sherifa pointed out that while other countries celebrate their cultural icons, Ghana tends to honour her legends often when it is too late. According to her, Ghana mostly acknowledges her legends posthumously or when they achieve acclaim on international platforms thus  emphasised the urgent need for greater appreciation of veteran musicians. To her, this trend, is disappointing and highlights a troubling lack of respect for those who have paved the way for younger artistes. She therefore called for a fundamental shift in how the nation values […]
