Christians urged to work hard to secure financial liberty
Mrs Safia Ayivor speaking to the church members
The Nungua District Assemblies of God (AG) Women’s Ministry Secretary, Mrs Safia Sulemana Ayivor has urged Christians to secure financial liberty while winning souls for Christ.
According to her, it was important for Christians to also seek financial freedom while attending to church activities in order to live a decent life especially after retirement.
“It is good to be devoted to the work of the Lord but it’s also important to invest in your future to ensure a decent and healthy life and continue the work of God even at an old age,” she stated.
She was speaking under the theme, ‘Economic liberty, the need for side jobs,’ during the recently held Nungua District AG Women’s Ministry Outreach at Lashibi in Accra.
Ms Ayivor introduced participants to investment opportunities while urging them to get other jobs to support their income.
“It is always important to do other things which would provide additional funds to sustain you, especially after retirement,” she added.
The investment professional with Prudential Life added that, creating a sustainable future by getting other streams of income was the way to go and advised professionals to take advantage of the opportunities available.
She also urged the youth especially not to be too comfortable with single incomes as it might not be enough to secure the brighter future they envisage.
“Let us continue with our steadfast duties in the church but also work hard and make a good living for ourselves and families,” she added.

The Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Abena Osei Asare has expressed concerns about the failure of the Administrator of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) Mr. Paul Adjei to honour invitation of the Committee to assist in dealing with abandoned projects cited in the 2024 Auditor-General’s report.
She emphasised that some of the projects have been abandoned for more than 20 years and it kept reoccurring in the Auditor-General’s report yearly, stressing that the GETFund Administrator could assist by prioritising these projects.
However, he has failed to personally appear before the Committee since the commencement of the Committee’s public hearing in the 9th Parliament.
According to the 2024 Auditor-General’s report on Pre-University Educational Institutions, nine (9) Institutions with 16 projects awarded by the GET Fund Secretariat had been abandoned/delayed for a period ranging between three (3) and 28 years.
Some of the affected schools include Adanwomoase Senior High School (Boys and Girls dormitory abandoned for 12 years), Atoa Senior High School (Home Economics Block abandoned for 27 years), Beposo Senior High School (Dinning Hall and Kitchen Complex abandoned for 10 years and lastly KNUST Senior High School (Three storey classroom block abandoned for 20 years).
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy continued its oversight responsibilities with a working visit to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) yesterday.
Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, said the visit formed part of efforts to familiarize members with the Authority’s operations and to explore ways Parliament could provide the necessary support.
He explained that the NPA’s work is focused on regulating Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, a critical area for national energy security.
Mr. Bedzrah noted that the Committee is particularly interested in assessing whether the country has adequate petroleum stock to meet demand.
He noted that rising geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing US–Iran conflict, could have adverse effect on Ghana’s energy supply and pricing.
He further disclosed that the Committee intends to engage closely with the Authority on a proposed new petroleum bill.
According to him, a draft of the legislation will be reviewed and possibly presented to Parliament under a certificate of urgency.
