Takoradi Port gives to Special Needs School
The Takoradi Port has donated assorted items to the Special Needs School at Esipun, in the Sekondi -Takoradi metropolis of the Western Region, to enable the pupils celebrate Christmas.
The items include rice, cooking oil, cartons of chicken, beverages, biscuits, gari, sachet water, toilet tissue and sanitary pads.
Presenting the items to the school last week, the Port’s marketing and Public Affairs Manager, Dr. Kingsley Antwi-Boasiako, conveyed special yuletide greetings from the Director of Takoradi Port, Mr Peter Amo-Bediako and the entire staff, to the school.
He recounted that the donation had become a tradition for the management and staff of Takoradi Port to contribute their widow’s mite to the pupils at the end of the year and to show their love for them.
Dr Antwi-Boasiako encouraged the children to enjoy the festive season and assured them of the support of the Port.
Receiving the donation, the Head of the Twin-City Special Needs School, Madam Crescentia Efua Bilson, expressed the school’s appreciation to the management and staff of GPHA.
She noted that the Port Authority pleasantly surprised them with the range and quantity of items they donated, especially as it was their first receipt of such donations for the 2023 festive season.
She pledged to use the items for the intended purpose of ensuring an inclusive and joyous Christmas for the school’s special needs children.

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.

Ghana Tourism Authority is leading Ghana’s participation at ITB Berlin, which opened in Berlin with a vibrant national pavilion highlighting Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, tourism destinations and investment opportunities.
March 5 has been designated as Ghana Day, a special platform to promote Ghana’s languages, cuisine, Kente, festivals and business prospects to the global tourism community. The stand has already drawn strong interest with traditional arts and crafts displays, immersive multimedia presentations and popular Ghanaian snacks.
Seven private-sector players are exhibiting alongside government officials as part of efforts to deepen trade partnerships, expand market access, and attract investment across the hospitality, heritage tourism, ecotourism, and creative arts sectors.
Ahead of the official opening, the Ghana delegation also engaged young Ghanaian investors in Germany in collaboration with V Afrika-Verein and the Ghana Embassy, strengthening diaspora investment linkages and highlighting opportunities within the tourism value chain.
Ghana’s coordinated presence at ITB Berlin 2026 reinforces its strategy to position the country as the Gateway to Africa and a competitive destination for leisure travel and global investment.
