WACPS donates to Ghana School of Law
The West African Centre for Peace Studies (WACPS), a non-governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to the promotion of peace, has presented an undisclosed amount of money to the Ghana School of Law (GSL) towards the renovation of the school.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of WACPS, Erasmus Ndemole Migyikra, presenting the donation to the Acting Director of the GSL, Mr Maxwell Opoku-Agyemang, said they were motivated by the immense contributions the school had made to the betterment of society.
Mr Migyikra urged other organisations, as part of their corporate social responsibility, to support the school carry out its mission of educating lawyers.
Mr Opoku-Agyemang on his part thanked Mr Migyikra for the gesture and assured that it would be put to good use.
He stated that law is the foundation for peace and development.
Mr Opoku-Agyemang assured WACPS that GSL would continue to cooperate with other organisations to ensure that peace was promoted and preserved at all times.
Those present at the ceremony included members of the organisation and some staff of the school.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Executive Committee member and Volta River Authority (VRA) Board Member, Wonder Victor Kutor, has described calls for the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as premature and unjustified.
He argued that there was no evidence to establish that the minister had committed any wrongdoing to warrant such demands.
Speaking on Joy News in Accra on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Mr Kutor questioned what had changed to justify the growing calls for the minister to step down.
He recalled that the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, had earlier indicated that the opposition was not accusing Mr Ablakwa of any wrongdoing.
Mr Kutor, therefore, challenged those demanding the minister’s resignation to provide fresh evidence to support their position.
“The call for the Minister to resign is premature, it is untenable. There is no evidence. I mean, what has he done wrong?” he questioned.
He added that documents, including boarding passes, airline receipts and flight manifests relating to the minister’s return journey, had been provided.
Mr Kutor expressed concern that the calls for Mr Ablakwa’s resignation could discourage young politicians from speaking out against corruption and advocating transparency.
According to him, politicians should not be targeted or maligned for demanding accountability, warning that such treatment could create the impression that speaking against corruption could later become a liability when one is appointed to public office.
He maintained that calling for accountability and transparency should not be used as grounds to target public officials without evidence of wrongdoing.
