Dr. Ishmael Yamson, Chairman of the National Economic Dialogue Planning Committee, has raised concerns about the growing frustration among Ghana’s youth, blaming economic mismanagement and corruption for their loss of hope in the country’s future.Speaking at the 2025 National Economic Dialogue in Accra, Dr. Yamson described many young Ghanaians as "Generation Hustlers," who no longer see opportunities at home and are eager to migrate in search of better prospects. He warned that years of poor governance, weak institutions, and self-serving politics have led to rising unemployment and economic instability.While acknowledging external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic, he insisted that Ghana's biggest challenges are "homegrown and self-inflicted."

Pastor in Court Over GH₵310K Visa Fraud Case

A Tema-based charismatic pastor, Cris Karl Ofori, has been arraigned before the Dansoman Circuit Court for allegedly defrauding a businessman of GH₵310,000 under the pretense of securing visas for him and his family.The victim, Amadu Seidu from Sampa, was introduced to Ofori by an acquaintance in 2023. He initially paid GH₵80,000 along with three passports to begin the process. However, after multiple payments, the pastor failed to secure the promised Canadian visas and later claimed to have obtained UK visas instead.When Seidu and his family arrived in Accra for their supposed trip, Ofori went into hiding, prompting a police report. He was eventually arrested and, in his caution statement, admitted to the offense. The court has granted him bail of GH₵350,000 with three sureties, and the case has been adjourned to April 25, 2025.

FDA Battles Influx of Illegal Diapers and Sanitary Pads

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) of Ghana is intensifying efforts to curb the rise of unbranded and uncertified diapers and sanitary pads flooding the market. These substandard products, some of which are refurbished and repackaged without proper labeling, pose serious health risks to consumers.Leading the charge is FDA CEO Dr. Delese Mimi Darko, who has dedicated over two decades to safeguarding public health under different administrations.

Dr. Darko, however, remains resolute in ensuring that dangerous sanitary products are destroyed and that blacklisted importers do not return to the market.Ghana has local manufacturers capable of meeting the country’s […]
