Here's what you need to know about the project ¹ ² ³: - Project Overview: The project involves constructing 37 groynes, spaced approximately 220 meters apart, to intercept tidal forces and protect an 8-kilometer stretch of coastline. It also includes land reclamation efforts and development of community infrastructure, such as a modern fish market, cold storage facilities, and public sanitation systems. - Duration: The project is scheduled to run from 2025 to 2029, spanning four years. - Objective: The initiative aims to provide lasting protection for coastal communities, restore economic activities, protect agricultural lands, and provide security for families who have lived in constant fear of displacement due to coastal erosion. - Significance: Ghana's 550-kilometer coastline is among the risk of climate change, particularly due to tidal wave flooding and coastal erosion. The project will help safeguard lives, property, and livelihoods, and support local economies dependent on the coast. - Implementation: The project is being executed by Armandine Golding Limited under the supervision of the Ghana Hydrological Authority. - Community Impact: The project promises to bring stability and allow for revitalization of local economies dependent on the coast. It will also enable sustainable fishing activities, support tourism development, and create employment opportunities. The project is a significant milestone in Ghana's ongoing efforts to adapt to climate change and protect its vulnerable coastal regions. President Mahama emphasized the urgency of the intervention, stating, "The sea has taken a lot from this community. It has taken land, property, livelihoods, and our peace of mind. But today, I stand here to say, no more will the sea consume our land" .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   BABJ28054.                                                                                                                             Emmanuella Afari-Sackey.

GHANA'S COOPERATION WITH THE FBI: A WIN FOR INTERNATIONAL CRIME-FIGHTING By Cassandra Duku June 28, 2025   Story Source:Graphic online      Ghana’s recent cooperation with the FBI in extraditing individuals suspected of cyber-related fraud underscores the country’s growing role in combating transnational crime. The move follows due legal processes, including judicial warrants and the approval of the Attorney-General's Department, reflecting a strong adherence to both Ghana’s laws and its international obligations.    The suspects in question were reportedly involved in fraudulent activities targeting American citizens through online romance scams and business email compromises. These crimes, though initiated abroad, often have significant impacts in the United States, making international cooperation essential for justice.      Some critics have questioned whether allowing the FBI to operate in Ghana undermines national sovereig...

My New Media Class Experience – Week 3

 📘 My New Media Class Experience – Week 3 Week 3 of our New Media class was one of the most insightful sessions so far. Today, we moved beyond the basics and focused deeply on social media campaigns — what they are, why they matter, and how organisations use them to reach their goals. The class opened my eyes to how strategic and intentional digital communication has to be, especially in our highly competitive online environment. A campaign is not just posting content. It is an organised and active effort toward achieving a specific goal, such as creating awareness, promoting a product, encouraging public action, or building a community. Understanding this foundation helped me see why many brands succeed online while others struggle. 📍 Understanding What a Social Media Campaign Really Means Our lecturer explained that a social media campaign is a structured marketing effort that uses one or more social media platforms (like Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, etc.) to support a busin...

Today’s Little Victories as a Student

 🌞 Today’s Little Victories as a Student Today wasn’t perfect, but it came with a few small victories that made me smile — and honestly, that’s enough for me as a student. I arrived in class earlier than usual, which already felt like an achievement. I had time to sit, breathe, and mentally prepare before the lesson started. For once, I wasn’t rushing like a character in an action movie. That alone set a good tone for the day. When the lecture began, something surprising happened — I actually understood the topic. Not halfway. Not “I think I get it.” I understood it clearly. And that feeling gave me a boost of confidence I didn’t even know I needed. Break time was calm too. I spent a moment talking with classmates, laughing about school stress, and realizing that we’re all just trying our best. Sometimes, knowing you’re not alone in the chaos makes everything feel lighter. The rest of the day moved smoothly — no surprise quizzes, no group work drama, no unexpected deadlines. Just ...
