Celebrated Ghanaian musician, Kwame Nsiah-Apau, affectionately called Okyeame Kwame in the showbiz circles, has partnered with the Director for Wildliife and Human Resources Organisation (WHRO Ghana), and Senior Lecturer
Department of Marine and Fisheries Sciences at the University of Ghana,
Dr.Kofi Agyekumhene for a cleanup exercise at Abia Beach in Ningo-Prampram.
The cleanup slated for this Saturday, November 8, 2025, is aimed at promoting clean and resilient coastal ecosystems.
The initiative also seeks to protect endangered sea turtle species that nest along Ghana’s coast. This effort forms part of their broader commitment to conserve marine biodiversity and maintain healthy coastal environments for both humans and wildlife.
Speaking to Dr.Agyekumhene, he further added that with this initiative, they want to raise awareness about the importance of protecting marine habitats and reducing coastal pollution, especially in areas serving as sea turtle nesting sites.
He said, through this initiative with Okyeame Kwame, they hope to inspire collective responsibility among coastal communities, institutions, strengthen partnerships between local communities, government agencies, and conservation organizations, as well as support sustainable coastal livelihoods by ensuring cleaner, healthier beaches that benefit both people and nature.
The cleanup is part of a continuous effort rather than a one-time activity. Over the years, the Wildlife and Human Resources Organisation (WHRO Ghana), together with its partners, have organised several beach cleanups to maintain sea turtle nesting sites and coastal cleanliness.
While this event takes place on Saturday,November 8,2025, WHRO plans to expand its efforts across more coastal communities in the coming years.
It is their goal to make coastal cleanups a national culture, working with District/Municipal assemblies and traditional authorities so that coastal sanitation becomes a key part of local and national development agenda.
Over 20 structures built within the 50-metre buffer zone of the Kpeshie Lagoon at the Laboma Beach Resort in the La Dade-Kotopon Municipality were on Sunday demolished by the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC).
Buildings such as single-unit semi-detached under construction and completed chalets at the resort were pulled down while portions of a newly constructed perimeter wall were also demolished. Read More

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
