Emotional Health and Well-Being I’ve long felt that choosing a life partner should be a subject that is thoroughly discussed sometime in high school and perhaps even in university. It amazes me that so little time, if any, is given to consideringthis topic on a meaningful level in school.

Chairperson, I thank the organisers for the invitation to come here and participate in this summit. In the short period since I assumed the high office of President of the Republic of Ghana, I will have had the good fortune to address audiences in the three most celebrated institutions of higher learning in this country. The first was at Cambridge University on 20th November, 2017, where I spoke on “Democracy and Development”. The second is today at the London School of Economics (LSE), where I will be speaking on “Africa At Work: Educated, Employed and Empowered.” The third, the icing on the cake, will be when I speak on 11th May at Oxford University.

Great social reformers, they were leading elements in the massive mobilisation ofthe early 20th century that brought ...

Commenting on the list of 998 staff released by President Akufo-Addo as workers at the seat of government on 3FM’s News Hour Friday, Kwakye Ofosu minced no words calling the list “totally outrageous, totally unjustifiable”. “In all honesty, the president has done a terrible deed by appointing all these number of people.
