GOWA Woman of the Year, Adiza Ibrahim speaks at 4th ANEG Go Girls Summit
The reigning Woman of the Year at this year’s GOWA, Adiza Ibrahim has emphasized the need for girls to be intentional about their actions on the digital space.
She made these remarks when speaking on the theme “ Digital Generation, I make the Difference” at the just ended 4TH ANEG Go Girls Summit 2023.
According to her, “every Teen, adolescent and teenager need to be intentional about what they do on the digital space i.e. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram etc. because it is a place full of opportunities but also the same place that can make them lose focus and be pressured into doing something else.”
She encouraged the about 500 girls drawn from selected schools in the Shai Osudoku District to make the most out of their usage of social media by keeping an impactful presence and engagement worthy to emulate by their peers in and beyond the District.
She noted “the digital space is a place that can enable you even at this early age to promote your skills and talents and also an effective platform to share all the issues confronting you in your respective districts regarding the lack of basic social amenities like lack of electricity, lack of proper drinking water, lack of decent classrooms blocks and the lack of ICT training and the provision of computers.”
Go Girls Summit is an annual program for girls at the basic level to SHS level in the Shai Osudoku District, Lower Manye and Togorme which seeks to inform, empower, engage and educate teen that seeks to address critical topics like Early Childhood Marriage, Domestic Violence, Gender Identity, Climate Change, and Female Health among girls and youth.
And the significant contributions of female professionals and mentors in nurturing girls’ self-esteem and development in their communities.
The summit is a highly impactful, engaging, and educational event and her presence as the Keynote Speaker greatly contributed to its success.

Ghana’s parliament has marked the 2nd edition of May Day 2026 under the theme “ Welcome Home”.
It was special day meant to celebrate the invaluable support of the workforce, recognizing the commitment, resilience, and contributions of workers to institutional growth and national development.
Delivering the message on behalf of the Speaker, the 1st Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor, described the theme as very apt, appropriate, and timely, noting that Parliament is more than a workplace, it is a shared home.
He emphasized that we cannot speak about work without speaking about people, reminding everyone that the true measure of our work is the well-being of our people.
He urged that our traditional clothing become an integral part of our everyday clothing, and that our local languages must become integral to our daily lives, interwoven into education and practiced at home.
Referencing Standing Order 63, which captures the use of local language as optional in deliberations, he encouraged a renewed commitment to identity, saying it is significant that we “come home” and present who we are so future generations can inherit a story they can fully tell.
The Clerk, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, in his remarks commended officers for their dedication and devotion to duty, calling on them to go the extra mile and leave legacies.
Echoing the reminder that an unexamined life is not worth living, he described the event as an invitation to reconnect with our roots through cultural revival.
The Deputy Clerk, C&FMS, Dr. Gloria Sarku Kumawu, urged all not to forget their roots, the people behind the stories of ministries, industries, and the strides made both in-house and beyond.
What began last year has now become a meaningful tradition, showcasing Ghanaian heritage, fostering unity, and encouraging innovation under the principle of diversity for unity and diversity for progress, she added.
The gathering brought together leadership, public officials, and staff across all levels, along with the media, standing as a unifying platform that honored service, celebrated culture, and reaffirmed a shared commitment to national development.

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, last Friday celebrated his 27th enstoolment with a colourful and culture-rich ceremony at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, drawing a distinguished gathering of dignitaries from across Ghana and beyond.
Clad in splendid kente and adorned in rich traditional regalia, the dignitaries added colour and elegance to the occasion, as the palace grounds came alive with a vibrant display of Ghanaian culture.
Traditional drumming, dancing and symbolic rites underscored the deep-rooted heritage of the Ashanti Kingdom, captivating guests and reaffirming the value of tradition in modern society.
Speaking at a high-level Executive Gala organised by the Diaspora Affairs Office of the Office of the President in strategic partnership with the E ON 3 Group, the ‘World-Meets-in-Ghana’ gala, the Asantehene urged Ghanaians to guard against the divisive tendencies of partisan politics.
The event was to honour the Asantehene’s nearly three-decade reign under the theme ‘Advancing Peace and Sustainable Economic Development through Royal Vision’.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II noted that such attitudes threatened the country’s long-standing values of unity, civility and brotherliness.
He assured that Manhyia would continue to serve as a unifying force for the nation.
The celebration also featured the presentation of commemorative gold coins to notable national leaders, including the President, John Dramani Mahama, former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as well as Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a former Vice President in recognition of their contributions to peace and national development.
