Robotics lab opens at Axim Girls’ Senior High School
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Nzema East Municipal Assembly, Madam Dorcas Amoah, has advised girls to consider the study of Information Communication Technology (ICT) as a major subject to boost their studies in any fields.
She said it was high time girls dispelled the idea that ICT was a difficult subject and that it was only boys who could study ICT because the world was going digital and ICT was needed in all fields.
Madam Amoah was speaking to students of Axim Catholic Girls Senior High School at Axim in the Nzema East Municipality of the Western Region where Open Labs, operators in ICT opened a new Robotics Laboratory for the students.
She said ICT was being applied everywhere in the world in all fields so the study of ICT should not be a matter of choice but compulsory since it would be applied in the daily lives of everybody.
She congratulated Open Labs on bringing ICT to the girls and appealed for an extension of the facility to all schools where girls were studying to boost their knowledge in the subject.
The Western Regional Manager of Open Labs, Mr. Richard Nartey said ICT was the order of the day so the study of ICT was very necessary because it cut across all subjects in today’s businesses.
He said Ghana was going digital and as a leading ICT provider they expected all Ghanaians to make sure the study or knowledge in ICT became part of their lives because ICT would be applied in the day to day activities of everybody.
He said his outfit wanted to ensure that technology was brought to the door step of all Ghanaians in order to equip them with the basic knowledge in ICT.
He said he was confident that with the opening of the Robotics Laboratory at Axim Catholic Girls’ Senior High School, the students would use the opportunity to embrace the study of ICT.
The Headmistress of Axim Catholic Girls, Madam Alberta Quayson also said ICT was very necessary in all institutions now that Ghana was going digital and the world at large.
He commended Open Labs for coming to the school to broaden the students’ knowledge in communication technology adding “it is the right time to come to the school with the Robotics Laboratory”.
She told the students to take the study of ICT very serious so that they could apply the technology to solve the challenges of tomorrow.

Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
