Abigail Kim elated about Black Queens call-up
Black Queens newbie Abigail Kofi Kim is excited about her debut call-up to the national side after Coach Kim Lars Björkegren named her in the squad for the Ivory Coast international friendly.
She had a terrific season with Ankara BB Fumget, scoring 17 goals and making 10 assists, helping the club lift the Turkish Women’s League trophy.
On how it feels like being a Black Queen
It’s exciting, and I’m looking forward to getting started with the team. It’s been really great; they’ve been welcoming, and everyone seems lovely and nice.
On what she wants to achieve with the team at WAFCON and beyond
I think that if we all work together and follow the coach’s instructions, we can achieve great things. My hope is to win the Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and then qualify for the World Cup.
On Ghanaian roots
I’m from Accra, but I was born in Liberia. My father is Ghanaian, and my brothers live in Ghana. I’ve been to Ghana only once, but it was great seeing my family and having that experience. I really enjoyed it.
On performance at club side
It was a good season. There were some tough games, but we ended up on top. It was great to help my team score a lot of goals and become champions.
On replicating that performance at the national level
Yes, of course. I’m looking forward to it. I’ll try my best and score as many goals as I can.

President of the Ghana Bar Association, Efua Ghartey, has called on judges and lawyers to carry out their duties with humility, fairness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
She made the appeal during the Supreme Court at 150 celebration held at the University of Ghana, under the theme “Honouring the past, celebrating the present and defining the future.”
Addressing participants, she noted that those in the legal profession occupy positions of great power and influence, and must therefore remain humble in the discharge of their duties.
She urged both the bench and the bar to deliver justice without fear or ill will, stressing the need for fairness in handling cases.
Reflecting on the significance of the celebration, she explained that the year 1876 marks not only the establishment of the Supreme Court but also the beginning of formally trained lawyers in the Gold Coast.
The GBA President questioned what Ghana would be without the rule of law, which is upheld by judges and lawyers, adding that the country could descend into a system where only the strongest survive if justice is not properly administered.
She further encouraged legal practitioners to reflect on their responsibilities and remain committed to upholding the rule of law for the benefit of all citizens.
