Education Minister Adamu Adamu made the announcement on Friday morning.

The minister's spokesperson Bem Goong clarified to the BBC that post-primary schools owned by the federal government - locally known as unity schools - would reopen on 12 October.

It's become such a global concern that developed and developing countries give much attention to it in finding ways of mitigating, if not preventing its effects.
In Ghana, when there's a heavy downpour around this time of the year, it is not only places or communities that get flooded, the media space too gets flooded with stories about how properties are destroyed, people are displaced and lives are maimed and lost.

Honestly, it has become a boring chore writing flood stories because no matter the number of stories written, the situation still persists year after year. The frequent occurrences and catastrophic consequences of floods can be curbed but not completely avoided.

It is therefore, no wonder that some communities in the West Mamprusi district of the N…

“The past three and half, almost four years of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration has seen massive transformations take place in Ghana. Every single Ghanaian has been positively impacted by the policies and programmes of this Government. From education, to health, the economy, everywhere. Nana Akufo-Addo has displayed stellar, competent leadership.
“Now contrast that with the preceding 8 years under the NDC and John Mahama. The sheer incompetence which run the economy into the ground and brought healthcare to its knees. The economy that could not pay even Teacher and Nursing Trainee allowances. That could not employ graduates. That had no credibility so had to run to the IMF for cover. That is the alternative. That alternative is empty. That alternative is scary.

“After almost four years of stellar, decisive competent leadership, we cannot go back to the era of incompetent, visionless leadership. We owe ourselves and generations unborn a duty to ensure the NPP is given anoth…
