NGO builds classroom block for deprived school

An NGO, Princess Umul Hatiyya Foundation, has built a six classroom school block for Nouri Imam primary school in Tuutingli near Tamale.

In addition to the school block a library, staff room and toilet facilities were built for the school. The entire project, which cost GHc120, 000, took seven months to complete.

The project was sponsored by Vodafone, Stanbic Bank, GLICO, Mawums Limited, Safety Insurance, Mansell Limited and among others.

The Metropolitan Chief Executive, and the chiefs of the area helped us to commission the school. I have enclosed some pictures of the structures.

The Chief Executive of Princess Umul Hatiyya Foundation, Princess Umul Hatiyya, during the commissioning of the school block, commended the teachers for their massive contribution to educating the children under the poor structure. She also urged them to instil the importance of reading in the pupils because “readers are leaders”.

Last year, the chief executive of the foundation embarked on a six-day bicycle ride from Accra to Tamale to raise funds to build a 6 classroom block, library, staff room and toilet facilities for the deprived school.

The Princess Umul Hatiyya Foundation focuses on Education. The foundation believes in the potential of every human being and firmly believes that children when given the right start in life will flourish beyond measure.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
