Love Language Beyond Words: Showing care through smart money moves

Valentine’s Day often makes us think of love, relationships, gifts, flowers, chocolates, and fancy dinners. But love isn’t always loud or flashy. Sometimes, it’s the quiet, thoughtful things we do, especially when it comes to money, that speak the loudest. In Ghanaian homes, we see it every day. A parent making sure school fees are paid before the term starts. A sibling sending a small gift at the end of the month. A child providing care for their aged parent. A parent taking care of a sick child, providing for the daily needs of their children or, buying that special gift promised on their birthday.

The government has announced plans to change the name of Ghana’s international airport from Kotoka International Airport (KIA) to Accra International Airport. The announcement was made during a leadership media briefing ahead of the resumption of the Ninth Parliament on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, disclosed that the change would be effected through legislation to be laid before Parliament by the Minister for Transport.
