They were among the 23 students conferred with their certificates, recognizing their successful completion of the rigorous ADR training programme, which has been characterized by intense simulation sessions and mediation camping.
The event, which took place at North Dzorwulu in Accra was graced by the Chief Justice of Ghana, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, as the special guest of honour.
Held on the theme, “Crafting Peaceful Solutions: Mastering ADR for a Sustainable Future, and Job Creation,” the graduation ceremony highlighted the growing importance of ADR in fostering sustainable peace, enhancing business environments, and creating employment opportunities in Ghana and beyond.
Speaking to The Spectator, the couple dedicated a special gratitude to His Eminence the National Chief Imam, Sheikh (Dr) Osman Nuhu Sharubutu who facilitated full sponsorship for them throughout the programme.
The programme, renowned for its hands-on approach, equips graduates with the expertise required to mediate and resolve conflicts effectively in various sectors, including business, family, workplace, and community disputes.
In addition to the graduation, the event also featured the matriculation of new students into the institute’s latest cohort.
This joint occasion serves as a platform to welcome fresh talent into the ADR space while celebrating the achievements of the outgoing class.

Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is in prison and serving her jail term.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr. Muntaka dismissed claims that the former MASLOC boss was being held in a private location.
He said she has been in the custody of the state since she returned to Ghana.
“From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time,” he said.
The minister explained that the public is not usually told the specific prison where inmates, especially high-profile persons, are being held for security reasons.
He said even judges who sentence offenders do not necessarily know the specific prison where they are sent.
“If you want to visit her, you can write to the Prisons Service. They will talk to her, and if she is interested in you coming, she will let you come,” Mr. Muntaka stated.
According to him, disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could put their lives at risk, adding that some developed countries also keep such information confidential for security purposes.
His comments come amid public speculation over the whereabouts of Ms. Tamakloe Attionu following reports that she had returned to Ghana to begin serving her prison sentence.
