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 Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
