The National Theatre is set to host Fundworld, a dynamic entertainment and educational program, on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at 1:00 pm.

The event celebrates World Radio Day and International Day of Friendship, themes that resonate with international celebrations.

The event aims to unearth many talents in young people, aligning with the theatre’s mandate to nurture children’s talents and prepare them for future opportunities.

Funworld is one of the National Theatre’s flagship programmes for basic schools, enabling pupils to create their own performances and present them on stage.

It’s a platform for schools to showcase their talents. Past editions have thrilled a lot of children with edutainment including poetry recital, dance choreography, rap music, drama performances, and this February edition promises to be more exciting and dramatic.

The Funworld programme takes place on every 3rd Sunday of February, March, May, June, and October.

The National Theatre invites schools, parents, and educators to participate in Funworld, a vibrant celebration of Ghanaian culture and creativity.

The event takes place at the National Theatre Main Auditorium, and tickets are priced at GHc 10.00.

The National Theatre also has a flurry of programmes in its first quarter, including ‘Wednesday Theatre’ on the last Wednesday of every month and ‘Thursday Movie’ on the last Thursday of every month.

The Minority Caucus in Parliament has called for the immediate release of Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, accusing the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) of abusing its powers in the conduct of investigations against him.

In a press statement dated February 11, 2026, and signed by Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Caucus described the actions of the NIB as “unacceptable” and politically motivated.

According to the statement, the issue began on February 3, 2026, when the Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama, wrote to the Director-General of the NIB.

In the letter, he requested an investigation into an allegation reportedly made by Mr. Ofosu Nkansah on Sompa Radio 106.5.

The allegation suggested that an individual had paid money to secure a scholarship to study abroad. The letter further directed the NIB to submit its findings.

The Minority said Mr. Ofosu Nkansah was first invited to the NIB office on February 5, 2026, to assist with investigations.

He reportedly honoured the invitation and appeared with his lawyer, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, who is also the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South.

After the meeting, he was allowed to go home without being charged.

However, the Caucus said the NIB invited him again on February 9, while he was in Kumasi visiting his seriously ill father.

According to the statement, he informed the Bureau that he could not report immediately due to his father’s condition and requested to appear on February 11 instead.

The Minority claimed the NIB insisted he report earlier.

The statement further alleged that when Mr. Ofosu Nkansah reported to the NIB, heavily armed officers took him to his residence to conduct a search and later returned him to the NIB office at Nima in Accra.

The Minority Caucus questioned the need for what it described as “forcible actions,” especially when, in its view, Mr. Ofosu Nkansah had been cooperative.

It also claimed that his rights were infringed upon and alleged that he had been taken to an unknown location without access to his legal counsel.

“As far as we know, Mr. Ofosu is at an unknown location,” the statement said, adding that the situation was worrying.

The Caucus argued that such actions could undermine Ghana’s democracy and the rule of law. It maintained that investigations should be conducted in a civil and lawful manner.

The Minority also linked the incident to what it described as broader national concerns, including delays in payments to cocoa farmers, unemployment and the rising cost of living.

It urged the government to focus its attention on addressing these economic challenges instead.
