Forestry Commission Boosts Training to Fight Illegal Mining

The Forestry Commission is taking steps to address the shortage of frontline technical staff, which has hampered efforts in combating illegal mining and forest degradation across the country. In recent years, the Commission has struggled with a lack of technical expertise in natural resource management, undermining its ability to protect forest reserves effectively. Acting CEO of the Commission, Dr. Hugh Brown, said technical experts are critical in coordinating protection efforts. “We have rapid response teams and forest guards.

CSA Warns of Fake Brand Listings on Google Maps & Search

The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has issued a strong warning to the public about a rising wave of scams involving fake business listings on Google Maps and Google Search.

Forum Urges Investment in Local Engineers for Ghana’s Future

A gathering of engineers, public officials, and development stakeholders has emphasized the urgent need to strengthen local engineering capacity as the foundation for building sustainable infrastructure in Ghana. The forum, held under the theme Equipping the Engineering Department of the Local Government Service for Sustainable Infrastructure Development, addressed challenges and solutions to empower engineers serving in local assemblies.

Equatorial Guinea President’s Nephew Jailed for Embezzlement

A nephew of Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for embezzlement, marking a dramatic fall from grace for the once-powerful official. Engonga, nicknamed “Bello” for his good looks, was the former head of the National Financial Investigation Agency. A court ruled that he had diverted public funds for personal use, alongside five other officials who allegedly misappropriated money meant for travel allowances ranging from $9,000 to $220,000. His case drew international attention last year when sex tapes allegedly involving him were leaked online. The scandal erupted while he was in detention on charges of funneling millions into secret offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands. Many of the leaked videos appeared to show him with women connected to the country’s political elite, further fuelling controversy. The videos’ authenticity was never […]
