Extend network service to all parts of Kwahu …Chiefs appeal
The chiefs and elders of Kwahu Traditional Area have appealed to management of the telecommunication giant, Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN), to ensure network coverage is extended to all other surrounding villages within the traditional area which have persistently been struggling for network service.

Education Minister Haruna Iddrissu has announced that government is working to make education free for all learners with special needs, with funding expected to come from GETFund.
He shared the plan during a press briefing with the media.

He noted that GETFund currently has a budget of 9 million cedis, and with proper adjustments, it should be possible for the fund to release about 100 million cedis every other year to support the policy.
Mr Iddrissu added that government is also committed to providing free tertiary education for all persons with disabilities.
He explained that the support will go beyond classroom learning and will include feeding and the provision of assistive learning devices for learners with special needs.

The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
