2024 impact wave conference promises to be impactful
The last edition of the very successful Impact Wave Conference was a gathering of accomplished female entrepreneurs, business leaders, industry captains as well as young aspirational females discussing solutions to the everyday challenges women are confronted with in the real world.
This week, organisers of the popular female-centered conference, Impact Wave Initiative, have hinted that this year’s edition of the annual conference promises to be bigger, enhanced and more impactful.
Impact Wave Conference 2024 is expected to be attended by hundreds of young ladies and successful females from diverse backgrounds and is scheduled for Friday, May 24, 2024 at the British Council, Ridge – Accra, from 9am to 3pm under the theme “Unleashing the Power in You.”
Commenting on the 2024 Impact Wave Conference, the President and Founder of Impact Wave Initiative, Ms. Eunice Golloh, highlighted her organisation’s commitment to continually support women to ensure they succeed in a world like ours through and change the mindset of women being inadequate through various avenues.
“As a non-profit organisation, we have over the years assisted young women to build their capacities and develop other abilities to make them more marketable and most importantly, prepare them to take on the world. We have achieved this through our mentorship programmes, workshops and seminars, capacity building and skill development sessions as well as networking events,” she said.
According to Ms. Golloh “Our most recent event was with the Denmark Embassy in Ghana to mark this year’s International Women’s Day with a focus to change the narrative and cause a paradigm shift when it comes to how women are perceived.”
“When we start respecting who we are as women and taking risks to strive for success, it opens an entirely new chapter in our lives. I am particularly excited about this year’s Impact Wave Conference knowing the calibre of guests we are expecting and the pacesetters to be sharing their stories with us and helping the young ladies to scale up and take things to the next level”, she stated.
She further asserted that it is important for women not to downplay their capabilities and underestimate what they can achieve, adding that women should not allow other people to determine the yardstick to ascertain their success and what they can achieve stating that it’s surprising the outcome whenever a woman takes the risk and puts herself out there to strive for success.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Intelligence Directorate has arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery attack on an Indian national in Obuasi and a separately planned robbery operation targeting a distribution company in the same area.
On April 16, 2026, Police received credible intelligence that a group of armed men were planning an attack in Obuasi. A police team moved swiftly into the area and arrested suspect Iddrisu Fuseini, also known as “Iddi”, at his hideout in Bedieso, Obuasi.
During interrogation, he confessed to being part of a six-member gang that attacked an Indian national at his residence at New Baakoyeden, Obuasi, on April 12 2026, robbing him of GH₵150,000.00.
He disclosed that the attack was orchestrated following a tip-off from suspect Ibrahim, an employee of the victim, who informed the gang that the victim kept large sums of money.
Further investigations led to the arrest of a second suspect, Shaibu Mohammed, also known as “SM” or “Cicinati”, on 20th April 2026 at his hideout in Gausu, Obuasi. During interrogation, he admitted to participating in the planning of the robbery and confirmed that the gang had further planned to rob a distribution company near Mawuli Hotel in Obuasi.
