Men who move tooth and nail to cater for their families cannot go unnoticed and the occasion of Father’s Day offers an opportunity to highlight their good deeds.
Gone are the days when the occasion of Father’s Day was just like a ‘passing cloud’, over time it has garnered wide support and is increasingly becoming popular.
Whilst one bad nut could spoil the soup, all fathers cannot be put under one umbrella as ‘irresponsible’ since many go to the extent of providing adequately for their families.
On the occasion of Father’s Day, which falls tomorrow, The Spectator doffs hat to all responsible fathers.
A cursory look at the various sectors of the economy reveals that men seem to stand tall and work tirelessly to provide for their families but some also go out of their way to provide for others.
The Spectator appreciates all responsible fathers and hopes that the ‘bad nuts’ would take cue and amend their ways.
Many responsible fathers go the extra mile to make life easy for their families. Captured below are few of the great men out there: Mr Samuel Boateng popularly known as Adanfo for instancerecounted to The Spectator how he has been selling yoghurt over 30years and has managed to put his three sons through tertiary school.
He said, “I did not get the opportunity to have formal education as I would have wished. This encouraged me to do all that I can to help my children have the best education.” He wished that the Fan Milk Company would give him one of their retail outlets to manage as he is aging and can no longer ride the bicycle like before.
Mr Kofi Adda, a 50-year-old teacher and father of five whose wife abandoned him many years ago also confidently recounted how he ‘metamorphosed’ into a mother to cater for the needs of her daughters as mothers do especially on menstrual education.
Although it has not been easy for him, he says his children through his efforts must grow into responsible adults and would do his best to make that happen.
Ms Hannah Mensah, a 43 year old Banker also said she holds posthumous father’s day celebration for her late father who singlehandedly raised her. She says though he is not alive, she is proud of the work he did to raise her into a responsible adult.
The stories are endless of great fathers all over and they,indeed, deserve to be celebrated.
Happy Father’s Day!

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.

Speaking in an interview yesterday with World Media USA Today, the Minister said government is committed to creating a conducive investment environment to support growth in the sector.
She highlighted key investment areas including hotels, fashion, music, film production, and tourism infrastructure.
Dzifa Gomashie also encouraged Ghanaians to invest in domestic tourism to help boost the local economy.
According to her, strategic investment in tourism and the creative economy will drive economic transformation, create jobs, and position Ghana as Africa’s gateway for heritage, culture, business and investment.
“Ghana has vast opportunities across tourism, hospitality and the creative industries. We are ready and open for business,” she stated.
The Minister’s remarks come as government intensifies efforts to leverage culture and tourism as drivers of economic growth and job creation.
