His expertise in artificial intelligence, agricultural technology, and financial technology, coupled with his passion for promoting peace and stability, make him an ideal representative for Ghana at this historic gathering.
Through his work, Kofi is contributing to meaningful discussions and initiatives aimed at finding sustainable solutions for conflicts and promoting peace.
Kofi’s participation in the Summit not only serves as a great honour for Ghana but also inspires young people across the country to pursue their passions and work towards creating a better world.
As the world confronts the looming threats of potential world war 3 and economic crisis, the need for innovative and effective solutions to promote global peace has never been greater.
Kofi’s participation in the Global Peace Summit Dubai 2023 is a beacon of hope and an example of the power of youth leadership to drive positive change.
Education Minister Haruna Iddrissu has announced that government is working to make education free for all learners with special needs, with funding expected to come from GETFund.
He shared the plan during a press briefing with the media.
According to him, an initial estimate shows that the policy will require between 65 million and 100 million cedis every year.
He noted that GETFund currently has a budget of 9 million cedis, and with proper adjustments, it should be possible for the fund to release about 100 million cedis every other year to support the policy.
Mr Iddrissu added that government is also committed to providing free tertiary education for all persons with disabilities.
He explained that the support will go beyond classroom learning and will include feeding and the provision of assistive learning devices for learners with special needs.

Ghana’s singing Prophet, Joseph Atarah, has released a video for his new song dubbed ‘Increase’. The video was directed and shot by renowned director, Sky Web.
The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.
