ISSER Urges Government to Treat Waste Management as an Economic Growth Strategy

Experts from the University of Ghana’s Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) are calling on government to redefine waste management as an engine for economic growth, rather than treating it solely as a public health challenge. In a new policy paper titled “The High Cost of Improper Waste Management and Poor Sanitation on Ghana’s Economy,” the ISSER team argues that effective sanitation systems could generate billions in economic value, create new employment opportunities, and improve environmental outcomes. According to the report, every US$1 invested in sanitation could yield up to US$5.50 in economic returns, based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO). The researchers estimate that if Ghana were to dedicate just 1% of its GDP — approximately US$883 million — to sanitation and waste management, the country could generate as much as US$4.86 billion in overall […]

From Insult to Influence: Traoré’s Composed Response Reshapes Global Perceptions

In a world where political discourse often escalates into confrontations, President Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso demonstrated that composure and strategic communication could turn a moment of disrespect into an opportunity for national and continental empowerment. The Incident: A Misstep on Live Television During a televised interview, former U.S. President Donald Trump made a dismissive remark about President Traoré, mispronouncing his name and questioning his leadership credentials. The comment, though brief, sparked discussions across international media platforms. Traoré's Measured Response Rather than responding with indignation, President Traoré chose a path of dignified silence, allowing his actions and policies to speak volumes. This approach not only defused potential tensions but also showcased his commitment to constructive diplomacy and national development. Amplifying Burkina Faso's Vision In subsequent public addresses, Traoré highlighted Burkina Faso's strides towards self-reliance, particularly in the energy sector. Initiatives […]

Mahama’s Government Shows Promise but Faces Looming Challenges – Experts

President John Dramani Mahama's return to Ghana's highest office has been met with both optimism and caution. While his administration has initiated several reforms and fulfilled a significant portion of its early promises, experts highlight persistent challenges that could impede sustained progress.

As these containers clutter valuable space, we must question why they remain idle and who is profiting from this corruption. Bossu Express Logistics has a groundbreaking vision to repurpose these containers into sustainable housing, yet they are being stymied by local agents inflating prices and potentially profiting from scrapping agreements.
