The Chief Finance Officer of MTN Ghana, Antoinette Kwofie, has urged women to make themselves visible and take up leadership positions to help bridge the gender gap and make an impact in society.
She was part of a five-member panel who spoke on the theme “Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow” at the 2022 ‘Ring the Bell for Gender Equality’ programme organised by the Ghana Stock Exchange in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) on Wednesday.
Sharing her experience, she said women in the world of Finance were “viewed as the exception rather than the norm,” adding that until she got into the corporate world, she did not know that the expectations of women were different.
Explaining what gender equality meant to her, she said equality was about “pick-up a box with two hands rather than struggling to pick it up with one hand.”
As a result, she was passionate about being a role model for the next generation of women and to conscientise them to know that they were “enough to make things happen.”
“Every woman should be able to see beyond themselves. If you can’t see it, you can’t be it.
You have to be more visible. You can’t be invisible if you want to make an impact, your visibility has to create the right impact”, she stressed, indicating the need to deepen conversations pertaining to mentoring and professional development of women.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
