Lordina Mahama calls for global unity and decisive action to protect children
The First Lady of Ghana, Mrs Lordina Dramani Mahama, on Monday, made a compelling call for global unity and decisive action to protect children and ensure their well-being.
Participating in a special annual prayer service for peace and children during the 80th United Nations General Assembly in New York, Mrs Mahama advocated for a world where every child can thrive.
She highlighted the urgent need for collaborative efforts amidst increasing global uncertainties, emphasising that “through prayer and decisive leadership, we can create a world where every child is protected and empowered to achieve their full potential.”
In her prayer for the world’s children, the First Lady said: “Heavenly Father, I lift the needy and orphaned children in Ghana and across the world into your loving care. I ask that you surround them with protection, comfort, and hope for a brighter future. Provide for their daily needs, including food, shelter, clothing, and education. Bless those who dedicate their time and resources to care for them. May these children grow in wisdom, strength, and joy, knowing that you love them. Guide their paths with opportunities, surround them with kindness, and let their lives shine as testimonies of your unfailing grace and provision. Amen.”
The Republic of Ghana, through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), is set to host a fugu and kente exhibition in Lusaka, Zambia, from March 6 to 8, 2026.
The event aims to strengthen Ghana-Zambia relations while promoting Pan-Africanism and African unity.
The exhibition, set to be organised in collaboration with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka, will showcase Ghanaian culture and craftsmanship, highlighting traditional textiles like kente and local wear such as fugu.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ghana described the event as a boost not only for cultural and economic diplomacy but also for trade and agribusiness ties between the two countries.
The exhibition will be held at the Lusaka Showgrounds, where visitors can experience Ghana’s rich cultural heritage and the African personality in action.
