Mrs Lordina Mahama
The former First Lady Mrs Lordina Dramani Mahama has advised young ladies to embrace singleness as a unique gift from God.
According to Mrs Mahama, singlehood was a time to educate and add value to oneself either through formal or informal education.
She gave the advice at a three-day 2024 Young Singles (Y’s) camp meeting of the Greater Accra-East region of the Assemblies of God (AG) Church at Shai Hills.
It was on the theme ‘Power to send the light.’
The event was a single’s programme for young ladies in the church.
She told the ladies: “work on your beauty; this is your prime time where your beauty must not be hidden, your beauty must radiate and glitter.”
She encouraged the young ladies to see that phase of their lives as a golden opportunity to nurture their dreams and aspirations before embarking on the journey of marriage.
She urged young single ladies to pursue self-discipline, be accountable to others and cultivate the attitude of prayer in all that they did.
Mrs Mahama, also a certified counsellor, underscored the significance of building individual capacities, pursuing formal education, learning a vocation, and striving to reach one’s full potential.
She emphasised the need for personal care and appearance, urging young ladies to dedicate time to self-care and be mindful of their appearance.
She said caring for oneself is not just about physical appearance but also about nurturing one’s inner self and maintaining a positive outlook.
The former First Lady and president of the Lordina Foundation warned the young ladies against the temptations that come with youth, such as fornication, alcoholism, drugs, and an indecent lifestyle.
She advised them to remain vigilant and not succumb to peer pressure, encouraging them to uphold self-discipline and godliness in all their endeavours.
In recognition of her generosity and motherly role to the youth of the church and the nation, the leadership of the Young Singles Group presented a citation to Mrs Mahama.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.

“Ghana has vast opportunities across tourism, hospitality and the creative industries. We are ready and open for business,” she stated.
The Minister’s remarks come as government intensifies efforts to leverage culture and tourism as drivers of economic growth and job creation.
