Abigail Anakwa-Poh, a HR practitioner and banking professional is one of the students who graduated with distinction from the University of Ghana Business School last Saturday with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Human Resource Management.
For Abigail, the attainment of the new degree, which was secured through determination and hard work, is an achievement in the broader aim for higher quality knowledge and excellence in the corporate field, especially in the area of human resource management.
She exemplifies the many women pursing higher education while climbing the corporate ladder, amidst the challenges of keeping the home and managing private businesses.
Abigail currently works as the Customer Support Associate at the National Investment Bank where she oversees various aspects of people management, customer support strategies and execution, including training, employee engagement, customer engagement, and learning and development.
With over a decade of experience in the banking industry, Abigail has previously worked with some of the leading banks in Ghana including Absa Bank Ghana Limited and Consolidated Bank Ghana in various banking and administrative functions.
Endowed with a deep understanding of the banking industry and its associated HR challenges, Abigail believes HR practitioners can overcome the emerging challenges through innovative and inclusive HR strategies.
As a woman who is passionate about HR and continuous learning, the drive to pursue the HR MBA programme was motivated by her need to further sharpen her skills and knowledge to operate more effectively in supporting organisational growth.
She believes that combining her experience with the new knowledge from the MBA programme, would propel her for greater excellence in the workplace, enhance her personal brand, and help her to become a more valuable asset to her organisation in promoting productive employee experience.
“As HR practitioners, we play a critical role in building a better workplace for employees and creating value for the business. Our work has a positive impact not only on individuals and businesses but also on the nation as a whole.
“By attracting and retaining the best talent, providing a safe and inclusive workplace, and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration, we contribute to the success of the organisation and the growth of the economy,” she said.
In the field of entrepreneurship, Abigail, an alumnus of Mfantsiman Girls Senior High and the African University College of Communication, has through her extensive industry knowledge and expertise, successfully built strategies that drive business growth and enhance employee experience.
Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Political Science, Dr. Joshua Jebuntie Zaato says the imprisonment of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will have little meaning unless it leads to a broader crackdown on illegal mining.
In a post on his Facebook page on the July 21, 2026, Dr. Zaato said the judgment should mark the beginning of efforts to completely eradicate galamsey and hold all those involved accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.
He said the country must work towards restoring polluted rivers, protecting forests and ensuring that people implicated in illegal mining activities are prosecuted.
According to him, those the President has publicly acknowledged to be involved in galamsey should face prosecution.
He called for the prosecution of district chief executives (DCEs), members of Parliament (MPs) and senior political party officials who have been accused of engaging in or supporting illegal mining.
Dr. Zaato further urged the government to take decisive action to end the destruction of the country’s forests caused by galamsey.
He maintained that the imprisonment of Chairman Wontumi would only have a lasting impact if it results in a comprehensive and impartial fight against illegal mining across the country.
