The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) chapter of the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG-GIMPA) has sworn in its first female president.
The historic moment was graced by GIMPA’s Dean of the School of Research and Graduate Studies (SRGS), Professor Wisdom Akpalu.
The swearing-in ceremony was performed by the national president of GRASAG, Mr. Thomas Elorm Tagbotor.
Other members of the new GRASAG-GIMPA executives are Emmanuel Adomako Vice president, Yussif Musah Amadu , General Secretary, Ahlaam Mohammed Treasurer; Bernice Azameti, Gender Commissioner and Ebenezer Angaamwine Sabogu , Organiser.
Speaking at the programme held in Accra on Friday for all elected executives, the president, Ms Judith Sitsope Apetorgbor stated that her new position was not only significant for her as a graduate student but also, a commitment to championing gender equality, inclusivity and empowerment.
“This position is not only significant for me but for every graduate student of GIMPA. As the first female president of GRASAG-GIMPA I see it as an occasion to amplify the voices and support the aspirations of students,” Ms Apetorgbor added.
She mentioned that she would among others focus on cultivating a nurturing and empowering environment where every female student feels valued and motivated to unleash their full potentials.
Ms Apetorgbor also emphasised the significance of mentorship, fostering strong networks and personal growth.
She expressed gratitude to the Management of GIMPA for the trust reposed in appointing the Institute’s first female Registrar, Dr. Mrs. Victoria Kunbour and Acting Deputy Rector and Dean of Students, Dr. Augustina Akonnor.
“Their positions clearly show that nothing is impossible to achieve as females. It is time for women all over the world, irrespective of their backgrounds to rise up, believe in themselves and take up leadership positions.”
“The future is bright and with the needed support, my executives and I will undoubtedly make a profound impact on the lives of our fellow students” she said.
Congratulating the newly sworn-in executives, Professor Akpalu urged them to remain selfless in the discharge of their duties and lead exemplary lives.
He also admonished Ms Apetorgbor to be determined and confident, assuring her of the Institute’s support.
According to the dean of SRGS, it was very necessary for women to be encouraged to take up leadership positions, adding that he was very proud of Ms Apetorgbor’s achievement.
“The school has your support so I am urging all of you to make discipline a hallmark. Serve the student body in all diligence and set good examples for them to follow,” he added.
On his part, the immediate past president of GRASAG-GIMPA, Eric Ofosu Asare in a speech read on his behalf thanked Management of the Institute for the unwavering support received by the past executives during their tenure of office and hoped that GRASAG-GIMPA under the leadership of Ms Apetorgbor would make greater impact on GIMPA’s academic community.

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.
