Be Bold And Tell Western Leaders Of Your Plight As Leaders Of Ghana
The best decision Ghanaian leaders should make that would help Ghana is to tell the various western country leaders that they are trying their best to build Ghana into a better country but they are being met with huge challenges. Ghanaian leaders need about one thrillion dollars to build up Ghana.
When US Army was leaving Afghanistan they left military equipment worth about 200 billion dollars there. Implying that if we are presented with a one billion dollars now to build our country it is a very meagre figure like peanut. Because even the 200 billion dollars here was not meant to heal their economy but gadgets worth to protect and ensure security there.
Western leaders are smart, therefore, what you tell them and how you say it matter. That would translate into the way they would react or respond to you.
In terms of how they would assist you. Lobbying in the western churches could easily help Ghana build the national cathedral well and excellently. The church leadership there would ensure their congregants do their best to give generously to help Ghana build it.
But the issue I am raising here is a seed fund freely given to Ghana as a complete gift to build and transform Ghana . To develop our villages and build good companies there and grant them improved health and social amenities. To give our villages a facelift.

Dear Editor,
THE Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that most Senior High Schools (SHSs) will return to the single-track system by this month.
For many students and parents, this feels like a relief. But before we move on, we must take a moment to reflect.
The double-track system helped thousands of students get into schools. It gave hope to families who couldn’t afford private education. But it also came with challenges.
Some students had shorter terms, others had longer breaks. Teachers were stretched, and learning felt rushed. Many students felt left behind not because they didn’t try, but because the system didn’t give them enough time.
Now that we’re returning to single-track, let’s make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. We need more classrooms, better planning, and support for teachers.
Education is not just about getting into school. It’s about feeling safe and supported. Let’s build a system that gives every child a real chance.

Dear Editor
As it is critical for preserving our surroundings, there is the urgent need for increased awareness and action to protect Ghana’s environment and resources.
Ghana’s forest reserves, vast savannas and scenic coastlines serve as homes and habitats to a wide range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species.
Our vegetation and rich soil deposits provide the nation with food, plants and animal resources, which ensures food availability and accessibility for the population.
However, the country’s environment is facing numerous threats including deforestation, overexploitation, pollution, etc.
The importance of environmental conservation cannot be overstated; our natural resources are the backbone of our economy, playing a vital role in driving the country’s economic growth and development.
It is therefore critical that we take actions to protect them for our future generations.
There is the need for collective action to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.
Environmentalists, various organizations and private individuals must come on board to promote environmental conservation, through tree planting exercises, clean-up campaigns, and resource conservation practices.
These efforts, when carried out effectively, would create a long-lasting impact in protecting and conserving the country’s environment.
The Ghanaian government should also implement policies and conduct regular programmes aimed at promoting environmental conservation.
