Boakye Agyarko warns NPP ‘Thank You’ Tour is fuelling division

A former flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Boakye Kyerematen Agyarko, has raised concerns over the party’s ongoing ‘Thank You’ Tour, describing it as a mission that has veered dangerously off course and is now threatening the unity and public image of the party.In a statement issued on April 28, 2025, Mr Agyarko criticised the current form of the tour, which he said was initially designed to reconnect with grassroots supporters, renew party spirit, and project a united front following the party’s internal flagbearer contest. Instead, he lamented that the exercise has degenerated into internal wrangling, blame-shifting, and rising tension among party ranks. “What was intended to restore our party’s shine and reconnect us with the grassroots is instead unravelling into bouts of discord, blame-shifting, and internal strife,” he stated. “This regrettable turn of events threatens to inflict […]

Minority on Health Committee appeals to TTH doctors to return to work

The Minority Caucus on Health has expressed concern over the suspension of emergency and outpatient services at Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH). The strike action, which began on Thursday, April 24, 2025, is in protest of what the doctors describe as a hostile working environment, lack of basic medical supplies, and mistreatment by senior government officials. Patients who visited the hospital for care were left frustrated, as the consulting rooms were empty with no doctors present. Two days into the strike, the Caucus appealed to the health workers to urgently reconsider their decision, citing serious concerns over the impact on public health. “We do not underestimate the gravity of such a resolution, and we fully recognize that it stems from a deep sense of frustration, indignity, and structural neglect that must not be ignored,” parts of a statement read.

IMF to Ghana, African nations: Tighten fiscal policies as global risks rise

Speaking at a press conference during the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings, Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned that while Africa’s long-term prospects remain strong, immediate policy tightening is needed to navigate looming economic shocks. While Africa has been home to some of the world’s fastest-growing economies in recent years, Ms Georgieva cautioned that low-income and conflict-affected nations risk falling further behind due to the indirect effects of weakening global demand.The IMF has already revised down growth projections for the continent. The impact of current economic shocks varies across Africa. Oil-exporting nations like Nigeria face budget pressures from falling crude prices, while oil importers, including Ghana, benefit from lower energy costs. However, Ghana’s recent decision to raise interest rates for the first time in nearly three years—contrasting with Egypt’s rate cut—reflects the differing policy needs across African economies.Ms Georgieva outlined key recommendations […]

Atlantic Lithium appeals to government to help save Ghana’s first lithium mine

The company, which has invested approximately $70 million since 2016, is developing what would be Ghana’s first lithium mine.  The project, located near Mankessim in the Central Region, was expected to place Ghana among the world’s top 10 spodumene concentrate producers. However, sharp declines in lithium prices—down more than 80 per cent from their November 2022 peak—have thrown its future into uncertainty. “We have done the maths and it doesn’t make sense at all,” Atlantic Lithium's General Manager, Ahmed-Salim Adam, told Reuters. “We have written to the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources for urgent help on the fiscals. If not, the project cannot proceed.” Ghana, already Africa’s leading gold producer, had hoped to benefit from the growing global demand for electric vehicles (EVs) by establishing the Ewoyaa mine as a strategic source of lithium, a key component in EV batteries.
