One of Ghana’s young tech innovators, Kofi Obo Wood, was chosen to represent Ghana at the just-ended Global Peace Summit held in Dubai from March 15-19, 2023 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
The Global Peace Summit in Dubai convened an assembly of the world’s most influential leaders to tackle the daunting task of establishing global peace.
Against this backdrop of strife and uncertainty, a young Ghanaian named Kofi Obo Wood was selected to represent Ghana at this prestigious event.
At the core of the Global Peace Summit’s mission is a call to mobilize young people worldwide to work towards achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
By bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and sectors, the Summit aims to empower a new generation of leaders to create positive change and establish equitable societies.
Kofi Obo Wood’s selection for this honour is a testament to his exceptional contributions to peacebuilding and his commitment to leveraging technological innovation to advance global stability. 
As the Founder and CEO of Limitless Artificial Intelligence, a member of the MIT Global Technological Review Panel, and a recipient of the Roberto Rocca Award for Leadership Potential & Academic Excellence, Kofi has proven himself to be a leader of the exceptional calibre.
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.
Ghana’s parliament has marked the 2nd edition of May Day 2026 under the theme “ Welcome Home”.
It was special day meant to celebrate the invaluable support of the workforce, recognizing the commitment, resilience, and contributions of workers to institutional growth and national development.
Delivering the message on behalf of the Speaker, the 1st Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor, described the theme as very apt, appropriate, and timely, noting that Parliament is more than a workplace, it is a shared home.
He emphasized that we cannot speak about work without speaking about people, reminding everyone that the true measure of our work is the well-being of our people.
He urged that our traditional clothing become an integral part of our everyday clothing, and that our local languages must become integral to our daily lives, interwoven into education and practiced at home.
Referencing Standing Order 63, which captures the use of local language as optional in deliberations, he encouraged a renewed commitment to identity, saying it is significant that we “come home” and present who we are so future generations can inherit a story they can fully tell.
The Clerk, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, in his remarks commended officers for their dedication and devotion to duty, calling on them to go the extra mile and leave legacies.
Echoing the reminder that an unexamined life is not worth living, he described the event as an invitation to reconnect with our roots through cultural revival.
The Deputy Clerk, C&FMS, Dr. Gloria Sarku Kumawu, urged all not to forget their roots, the people behind the stories of ministries, industries, and the strides made both in-house and beyond.
What began last year has now become a meaningful tradition, showcasing Ghanaian heritage, fostering unity, and encouraging innovation under the principle of diversity for unity and diversity for progress, she added.
The gathering brought together leadership, public officials, and staff across all levels, along with the media, standing as a unifying platform that honored service, celebrated culture, and reaffirmed a shared commitment to national development.

Manhyia would serve as Ghana’s unifying force …Otumfuo assures on commemoration of 27 years on the Golden Stool
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, last Friday celebrated his 27th enstoolment with a colourful and culture-rich ceremony at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, drawing a distinguished gathering of dignitaries from across Ghana and beyond.
Clad in splendid kente and adorned in rich traditional regalia, the dignitaries added colour and elegance to the occasion, as the palace grounds came alive with a vibrant display of Ghanaian culture.
Traditional drumming, dancing and symbolic rites underscored the deep-rooted heritage of the Ashanti Kingdom, captivating guests and reaffirming the value of tradition in modern society.
Speaking at a high-level Executive Gala organised by the Diaspora Affairs Office of the Office of the President in strategic partnership with the E ON 3 Group, the ‘World-Meets-in-Ghana’ gala, the Asantehene urged Ghanaians to guard against the divisive tendencies of partisan politics.
The event was to honour the Asantehene’s nearly three-decade reign under the theme ‘Advancing Peace and Sustainable Economic Development through Royal Vision’.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II noted that such attitudes threatened the country’s long-standing values of unity, civility and brotherliness.
He assured that Manhyia would continue to serve as a unifying force for the nation.
The celebration also featured the presentation of commemorative gold coins to notable national leaders, including the President, John Dramani Mahama, former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as well as Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a former Vice President in recognition of their contributions to peace and national development.
