The founder of the Zango Women Livelihood and Empowerment Programme, Mrs Adiza Ibrahim Sadiq, has urged Muslim girls to look beyond just getting married and performing kitchen duties.
Rather, she urged them to strive for education and be successful women in society and attain financial freedom.
Speaking to The Spectator, she said, though marriage was a good thing, young girls must acquire certain skills to ensure they contribute to sustain their homes.
“Typically, a young Zango (Muslim) girl would be looking forward to a man to come seek her hand in marriage, take her home, become the mother of his children and take care of the family without any skills to contribute financially,” she stated.
That narrative, she said, should change, as a young Muslim girl can attain education, get a profession and be married and assist in the running of the home.
“She must be a very supportive wife to the husband especially when things become tough for the man. That would bring some fulfillment as a woman,” she explained.
Mrs Ibrahim, who is also Head of Marketing and Media Relations Manager at Electroland Ghana Limited said she was committed to empowering Zango girls to take up the challenge of venturing into the working space, attain financial freedom and just like men, support their families.
“The idea is not to transfer power into the hands of women but rather make them resourceful to support their families and community at large,” she stressed.
According to her, the financial liberation of women would help them do better, improve upon their self-esteem and position themselves to take up leadership roles.
Issues of child marriage, teenage pregnancy and other social vices would become a thing of the past when young girls acquire skills that would let them stand on their own.
The future, she said, was bright for young girls and urged leaders in communities to come together and support the youth to become successful and contribute to national development.
“I look forward to a future where women can have financial power and get away from abusive relationships and do well on their own,” she stated.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.

The Minister’s remarks come as government intensifies efforts to leverage culture and tourism as drivers of economic growth and job creation.
