    NEWChinese Nationals Appear at Adamus Mine After Lease Revocation

    Chinese nationals reportedly visited the Salman concession of Adamus Resources Limited, days after the Ghanaian government upheld the revocation of three mining leases. This incident escalates a dispute over Adamus's gold assets, raising questions about regulatory oversight and the future of the concession. The Minerals Commission had revoked the leases due to alleged breaches of mining legislation, including unauthorized assignment of rights and operations outside approved areas. Adamus Resources disputes these claims, citing a lack of due process. The situation highlights Ghana's challenge in balancing foreign investment with strict regulatory enforcement in its mining sector.

    NEWSedina Tamakloe Released After Court of Appeal Acquittal

    Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, former CEO of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), has been released from custody. This follows the Court of Appeal overturning her conviction and the Attorney-General withdrawing an application to stay the execution of that judgment. Her release comes nearly two weeks after the appellate court's decision. Tamakloe-Attionu was previously sentenced to 10 years in prison in absentia for various charges, including causing financial loss to the State. The Attorney-General still intends to challenge the Court of Appeal's decision at the Supreme Court, but her acquittal now stands pending further legal processes.

    NEWFarmer calls for poultry processing plant in Asene Manso Akroso

    Edward Ansah, a farmer in Asene Manso Akroso, has urged the government to establish a poultry processing plant in the district.

The proposed plant is crucial for sustaining initiatives like Nkoko Nkitinkiti and reducing Ghana's reliance on imported broiler meat.

    NEWDVLA faces scrutiny over GHS 404.25 'delinquency' fees

    CUTS International has called on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) to stop imposing escalating 'delinquency' fees on expired driver's licenses.

    NEWAfrica's Energy Calendar Faces Overlap Challenge

    A significant scheduling overlap between African Energy Week in Cape Town and the World Petroleum Congress in Riyadh has exposed Africa's inability to collectively defend its key energy events. This conflict, occurring in October 2026, reveals a broader issue of fragmentation within Africa's energy sector and a lack of institutional power to make its continental gatherings indispensable on the global stage. Experts suggest that African governments and national oil companies hold the leverage to establish a unified energy calendar, thereby strengthening the continent's position in global energy diplomacy and investment.

    NEWGhana's Tomato and Ginger Shortfalls Cost GHS 2.8 Billion Annually

    Ghana's agricultural sector is grappling with significant shortfalls in tomato and ginger production, leading to substantial import bills. Tomato imports alone cost over GHS 2.8 billion annually, while a bacterial wilt outbreak has decimated ginger output, making the country 99% import-dependent. Researchers from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) attribute these issues to weak seed systems, limited irrigation, poor soil health, and insufficient investment in horticultural research. They propose a research-led recovery plan, including improved seed varieties, farmer training, and better irrigation infrastructure, to address the growing deficit and reduce reliance on foreign produce.

    NEWGhanaian firms struggle to meet sustainability goals

    New research from Project Management Institute (PMI) and Green Project Management reveals a critical challenge: many organisations in Africa and globally struggle to deliver measurable sustainability outcomes. While 85% of sustainability executives are confident in achieving goals, only 43% of Project Management Office (PMO) leaders share this view, and just 20% of project professionals are extremely confident. This execution gap, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, risks excluding organisations from vital investment flows.
