Two Nigerian artists—veteran painter Dr Ellis Oyekola and contemporary textile artist Tabitha Odigili—last week launched a joint art exhibition in Accra.
The event, themed ‘Traversing Borders: Artists Integration’, showcased their creative journeys, storytelling abilities, and unique artistic expressions. The exhibition, which explores themes of identity, transformation, and cultural memory, will run until November 28.
Speaking at the launch, Ambassador Moses Ifedayo Adeoye, High Commissioner of Nigeria to Ghana, commended the organisers for their dedication to promoting African art. He also expressed gratitude to the management of Accra City Hotel for providing a welcoming space for artistic collaboration.
“The event aims to celebrate the power of art to connect generations, cultures, and perspectives, while highlighting the artists’ skills, personal inspirations, and contributions to African creativity,”
— Ambassador Adeoye
Dr Ellis Oyekola described the exhibition as a symbolic “homecoming”, explaining that it provided an opportunity for him to give back to society what he has learned over the years.
He encouraged visitors to experience not only visual beauty but also the stories, struggles, and triumphs embedded in every brushstroke and textile thread.
Textile artist Tabitha Odigili shared insights into her contemporary practice, explaining how art serves as a powerful means of communication. She noted that her works—often created from discarded materials and textured surfaces—speak to themes of survival, transformation, and hope.

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.
