GTEC Boss Rejects Deputy Minister’s ‘Professor’ Claim

The Director-General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Professor Ahmed Abdulai Jinapor, has rejected a two-week ultimatum from the lawyers of Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah, over her use of the title “Professor.” Speaking on Joy FM’s Midday News, Prof. Jinapor criticized the ultimatum, accusing Dr. Ayensu-Danquah’s legal team of giving “poor advice” that has worsened the controversy. The dispute revolves around conflicting claims about Dr. Ayensu-Danquah’s academic rank. According to Prof. Jinapor, a “chronology of events” revealed inconsistencies from the Deputy Minister’s camp. “The Honourable Deputy Minister of Health, an MP, said on national TV that she is a full professor from the University of Utah, Department of Surgery. That is a statement of fact,” Prof. Jinapor noted. However, he disclosed that GTEC’s findings contradict this claim. “Her lawyers wrote to GTEC indicating that she is […]

In a swift response to the recent hippopotamus invasion in Tolomedzi, a fishing community in the Krachi East Municipality of the Oti Region, officials from the Wildlife Division, the Forestry Commission, and the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) have visited the area to assess the situation and offer support.

BoG Plans Talks with Banks on FX, Liquidity & Policy Rate

The Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Johnson P. Asiama, has announced that he will soon engage the Ghana Association of Banks to address key concerns regarding forward foreign exchange (FX) auctions and market liquidity. Speaking at a brief gathering with the CEOs of Ghana’s commercial banks in Accra, Dr. Asiama emphasized that the discussions aim to improve the FX market’s efficiency and ensure banks maintain adequate liquidity to meet the needs of both businesses and households. “There is hope for further easing,” he said, indicating potential for another policy rate cut—pending continued trends of easing inflation and stable market conditions.

Retired Air Force Officer Downplays Weather in GAF Helicopter Crash

A retired Ghana Air Force officer has dismissed severe weather as a likely cause of the recent military helicopter crash, calling for deeper examination of other potential factors. The comments were made on Joy News’ AM Show on August 13, where the officer was asked about the role of weather in the tragedy. He emphasized that citing adverse weather alone may mislead the investigation, and urged authorities to explore technical or operational issues more thoroughly. While weather conditions are often scrutinized in aviation accidents, his remarks underscore the need for a comprehensive probe into factors beyond meteorological explanations—such as mechanical failure, navigational issues, or human error.

UZ Lecturer Sues to Halt Graduation Over Exam Flaws

The statement underscored the nervousness felt by Europeans about Moscow's actions in Ukraine, which many countries – particularly those bordering Russia or those in which the memory of Soviet occupation still lingers – believe could pose a direct threat in the near future. In recent years Sweden and Finland have joined Nato, Baltic countries have reinstated conscription, and Poland has set aside billions to build a barrier alongside its border with Russia. European countries have a long history of borders being redrawn by bloody wars and are extremely concerned by the prospect of the US allowing that to happen in Ukraine. A legal recognition of Russia's sovereignty over territories it conquered by force is unacceptable to the EU. A University of Zimbabwe (UZ) lecturer has filed an urgent High Court application to stop the institution’s August 15 graduation ceremony, alleging […]
