Good Neighbours donates to Adaklu District Health Directorate
To support maternal and child health care services in the communities, Good Neighbours Ghana, a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO), has presented six motorbikes to the Adaklu District Health Directorate at a ceremony at the district capital, Adaklu-Tsrefe.
“This is also to strengthen the directorate’s supervisory duties,” said the Managing Director of Good Neighbours Mr Ilwon Seo.
So far, he said, Good Neighbours had presented 122 motivation tools, bicycles, torch light, boot and raincoats to the community health volunteers in the Adaklu and Upper Manya Krobo districts to support maternal and child health care programmes in those areas.
Mr Seo said that the bikes could also be utilised in the fight against the spread of COVID-19.
The District Director of Health, Mr Charles Azagba, expressed gratitude for the gesture and said that Public Health Management Committee and Rapid Response Team were working around the clock to fight the virus.

President John Dramani Mahama has commissioned the Sahara LPG Vessel, marking a major step in strengthening Ghana’s energy infrastructure and supporting the transition to cleaner energy sources.
Describing the occasion as more than a ceremonial event, the President said the commissioning represents “a significant milestone in strengthening the infrastructure that underpins the global liquefied petroleum gas supply chain.”
He noted that energy access and the shift toward cleaner energy remain defining challenges of the era, emphasizing that LPG continues to play a critical role in the transition.
President Mahama further highlighted the importance of collaboration, stating that the project reflects the power of strategic partnerships and forward-looking investments aimed at improving energy security for Ghana, West Africa, and the African continent.
He added that Ghana, like many of its neighbours, recognizes the transformative potential of LPG in driving socio-economic development and expanding access to cleaner energy solutions.

Health ministry suspends principal of Nkanchina Nursing College over alleged unauthorised admissions
The Ministry of Health has suspended the Principal of the College of Nursing, Nkanchina, Mr. Fredrick Anaba, over alleged over-admission of students and the introduction of unapproved academic programmes.
The ministry announced the decision in a press release issued on March 12, 2026.
According to the ministry, the suspension takes immediate effect and will remain in place while a comprehensive administrative investigation is conducted into the matter.
It explained that the action follows a query issued to the principal on February 19, 2026, regarding the 2025/2026 admission process at the college.
After reviewing Mr. Anaba’s response, the ministry said it decided that a full investigation was necessary to establish the facts surrounding the alleged over-admission and the introduction of programmes that were not approved.
The ministry has therefore directed him to hand over the administration and management of the institution to the Acting Vice Principal to ensure the smooth running of the college.
The Ministry of Health (Ghana) said it remains committed to enforcing strict compliance with admission quotas and approved academic programmes across all health training institutions in the country.
The ministry indicated that further updates will be provided after the investigation is completed.
