A Russian-based Ghanaian architecture student Aziz Nuhu Tanko has shared his designs for an ultramodern library facility in Takoradi in the Western Region of Ghana.
Mr.Tanko, an old student of St. John’s School in Sekondi moved to Russia to pursue his dream of becoming a world-class architect, and as part of giving back to the society has designed a library model for the Twin-City which will be the first of its kind.
Not just in the “Oil City” but in the whole of Ghana, as the moves towards an education-driven nation.
Tanko’s work is a beautiful concept that expresses architectural design through the use of modern designs but the use of traditional tools to give it a perfect mix of the old and new, making it a classic.
The unique library model depicts a ‘cute’ looking building with a beautiful wooden interface, which makes it an amazing experience to use this academic facility.
Aziz Tanko seeks to use this structure to boost literacy in the Region that made him who he is today.
It is his dream to be a household name in the Architecture space in few years and make Ghana proud.
Deputy National Women Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mimi Duah, has openly declared her support for Mavis Hawa Koomson as the next National Women’s Organiser of the party.
In a statement endorsing Hawa Koomson’s candidature, Ms Duah outlined four key reasons why she believes the former MP and Minister of State is best placed to lead the party’s women’s wing.
According to her, Hawa Koomson is a motherly figure who rose from the grassroots and is widely noted for her forgiving nature and ability to foster unity.
“She is a true grassroots mother who easily forgives, fosters unity, provides guidance and arbitrates to ensure all aggrieved party women are brought on board to ensure a unified women’s wing,” she stated.
Ms Duah also pointed to Hawa Koomson’s vast experience, having served as a Constituency Women’s Organiser, Member of Parliament and Minister of State, noting that the experience positions her to provide effective leadership as National Women’s Organiser.
She further described Hawa Koomson as capable of making the women’s wing resourceful, through her extensive network and business contacts, to lobby for logistics, training and financial support for women organisers at all levels.
Lastly, she said the NPP as an opposition party needs fearless, bold and assertive leadership at the women’s front to inspire regional, constituency and polling station women organisers as the party reorganises towards the 2028 elections.
“We need a Women’s Organiser who has been tested, who is bold, who understands grassroots women, and who can lead us to victory in 2028. Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson is that leader,” she stressed.
