The Minister for Communication, Digital
Technology and Innovations has instructed the Ag Director General of the National Communications Authority to furnish his office with a list of all frequency authorisations issued or renewed in the last sixty (60) days.
According to him, this forms part of the government’s Operation Recover All Loot agenda.
He noted that the Minister considers it a mandate to ensure that all State resources within the purview of the Ministry which have been handed over to private interests in a manner inconsistent with law and laid down procedure must be recovered for the benefit of the State.

Speaking at the launch, Ms Melody Boateng, a representative from UNESCO, gave a Speech on behalf of Mr Edmond Moukala, UNESCO’s Representative to Ghana.

Founder of Fashion Nexus Ghana and Project Lead of the BoGF Initiative, Hillary S. Andoh, stated that the summit and training program were not just events, but part of a broader national movement to professionalise, develop, and scale Ghana’s fashion industry.
She noted that by bringing together creative leaders, manufacturers, textile producers, educators, policymakers, investors, and development partners, the initiative was turning dialogue into action.
