The reigning Woman of the Year at this year’s GOWA, Adiza Ibrahim has emphasized the need for girls to be intentional about their actions on the digital space.
She made these remarks when speaking on the theme “ Digital Generation, I make the Difference” at the just ended 4TH ANEG Go Girls Summit 2023.
According to her, “every Teen, adolescent and teenager need to be intentional about what they do on the digital space i.e. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram etc. because it is a place full of opportunities but also the same place that can make them lose focus and be pressured into doing something else.”
She encouraged the about 500 girls drawn from selected schools in the Shai Osudoku District to make the most out of their usage of social media by keeping an impactful presence and engagement worthy to emulate by their peers in and beyond the District.
She noted “the digital space is a place that can enable you even at this early age to promote your skills and talents and also an effective platform to share all the issues confronting you in your respective districts regarding the lack of basic social amenities like lack of electricity, lack of proper drinking water, lack of decent classrooms blocks and the lack of ICT training and the provision of computers.”
Go Girls Summit is an annual program for girls at the basic level to SHS level in the Shai Osudoku District, Lower Manye and Togorme which seeks to inform, empower, engage and educate teen that seeks to address critical topics like Early Childhood Marriage, Domestic Violence, Gender Identity, Climate Change, and Female Health among girls and youth.
And the significant contributions of female professionals and mentors in nurturing girls’ self-esteem and development in their communities.
The summit is a highly impactful, engaging, and educational event and her presence as the Keynote Speaker greatly contributed to its success.
In attendance were Manye Amponsah Dokua III, Paramount Queen Mother of Osudoku Traditional Area, Dr Edward Sutherland the Director at Ensign Global College, Kpong, Dr. Ben Ocra, the President Ghana Philanthropy, CEO of Vendajules Slay World, Adaeze Atayobor, CEO of Binka Ahsap Manufacturers, Julian Adomako-Gyima and many other seasoned professionals.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
