Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama, speaking in New York on Tuesday, criticised the U.S. administration for what he described as normalising the erasure of Black history, warning such policies could have ripple effects elsewhere. reuters.com/world/africa/g…

Standing ovation on the international stage 👏👏 @JDMahama

My President has spoken. Tomorrow me advance the historic resolution. This is one of the best ways to honor the over 15 million human beings who were victims of the transatlantic slave trade. 🤝

Massive respects to H.E. @JDMahama. Our values cannot be diluted and bought by sinister forces on the prowl. The folks at Lincoln University should bow their heads in shame. We are a proud Nation and no one should think they can dictate what we happens in our Nation. 🦁🇬🇭

Just in- Lincoln University withdraw Mahama honorary doctorate because of his stance on LGBTQ+. Shocking!! See below! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ghana Embassy Expresses Disappointment Over Lincoln University’s Late Concerns Regarding Visit of H.E. John Dramani Mahama Washington, D.C. | March 24, 2026 The Embassy of the Republic of Ghana in the United States wishes to express its profound disappointment regarding a last-minute communication received from Lincoln University concerning the scheduled visit of the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, on Thursday, March 26, 2026. The visit, which includes the conferment of an honorary doctorate degree, honoris causa, had been agreed upon following extensive prior engagement between the University and the Embassy. Indeed, only last week, officials of the Embassy, together with representatives of Lincoln University, conducted a full walkthrough and finalized all logistical and programmatic arrangements ahead of the President’s visit. It is therefore both surprising and regrettable that, just hours ago, the Embassy received a communication from the University indicating that concerns had been raised by a group regarding President Mahama’s perceived position on Ghana’s Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, currently before Parliament. The University has indicated that these concerns did not surface during its earlier due diligence and vetting processes prior to extending the invitation to President Mahama. The Embassy wishes to place on record the following: •President Mahama’s visit was formally accepted in good faith, following an official invitation by Lincoln University, an institution with deep historical ties to Ghana, including its distinguished association with Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. •All preparations for the visit have been duly completed, reflecting a shared commitment to the success of this important engagement. •The timing of this development is deeply concerning, particularly as it arises after all arrangements have been concluded and with the President already in the United States—having arrived in New York in anticipation of honoring the University’s invitation. While the Embassy acknowledges Lincoln University’s right to engage its internal stakeholders and uphold its institutional values, we note with concern that the issues now being raised relate to ongoing legislative processes within Ghana, which are subject to democratic deliberation and are not the unilateral position of any one individual. President Mahama has consistently demonstrated leadership grounded in democratic principles, respect for human rights, and inclusive dialogue on complex societal issues. It is therefore unfortunate that these concerns have emerged at such an advanced stage, without prior engagement or clarification. The Embassy remains committed to constructive dialogue and mutual respect. We trust that the longstanding and historic relationship between Ghana and Lincoln University will guide a thoughtful and balanced resolution of this matter.

🚨Ghana 🇬🇭 and Colombia 🇨🇴 have signed a landmark agreement to link the Port of Tema with the Port of Cartagena, creating direct maritime trade between West Africa and Latin America. The deal, signed in Bogotá, is expected to boost trade and strengthen economic ties.

They never gonna forget the Minister soon for this experience 🥹🤭.. Sei kutuu…. ?

1. The deplorable state of our roads is one of the biggest national security threats we face as a country. Bad roads have claimed many lives through fatal road accidents, armed robbery etc. 2. I am reliably informed that, the Surveying, Designing and Costing of Big Push road projects alone took the Ministry of Roads about 7 months to complete. 3. Resorting to the National Competitive Tendering process for the award of these critical road projects would have taken another couple months before the projects could even commence. This could have delayed the completion of most of the projects beyond 2028. 4. Competitive tendering processes have in some cases lasted for months. A typical example is the competitive tendering process for the Road Toll project that has not still be completed in about a year due to its complexities. 5. Section 40 of the Public Procurement Law provides for Single Source procurement method on grounds of urgency, among others, subject to the approval of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA). Thus, sole sourcing is lawful. The unjustified use and abuse of sole sourcing is what President Mahama and the NDC have condemned. 6. There is not a scintilla of evidence in the Fourth Estate publication that shows that the use of sole sourcing for the said Big Push road projects was unjustified or that there were any breaches of the law or abuse of the process. Neither was any evidence of the cost of the projects being inflated adduced by the Fourth Estate. 6. In opposition, the NDC never said sole-sourcing was a sin or unlawful. We only preached against the unjustified use and abuse of sole-sourcing in the award of government projects, some of which were established by the Auditor General to be inflated. In fact, some of us cited audit findings of the Auditor General to show that sole-sourced cocoa road projects, some of which were awarded to Bawumia’s brother were inflated. 7. In the case of the Big Push road projects, all projects that were awarded through sole sourcing received prior PPA approval as same was justified on grounds of URGENCY. Value for Money audits were conducted. The contracts were not awarded to a select few but rather carefully selected, multiple, competent and experienced contractors with demonstrable capacity to complete the works on time. None of the contracts have been established to be inflated. The urgency of the projects cannot be denied. And like all road projects, payments are based on actual work done certified by independent Consultants. 8. As a matter of fact, 23 out of 84 Big Push road projects, such as Suame Interchange, Ofankor- Nsawam, Adenta- Dodowa, etc. are inherited road projects that were all awarded by the previous NPP government through sole-sourcing with no dedicated funding. This government has simply novated the projects, maintained the contractors and provided for funding for them under the Big Push policy. The 23 road projects were not re-awarded. Yet, the Fourth Estate has mischievously added all these projects to their list of sole-sourced contracts awarded by this government. Clearly they could have done a better job. 9. So what’s the point really? The NDC spoke against sole-sourcing in the past so every resort by the NDC to sole-sourcing in government must be condemned? Is that the logic being canvassed by the Fourth Estate? A classical case of comparing oranges with apples.

@BellRibeiroAddy Thanks for the support Bell. Your proactive approach is commendable. I hope we get the support of the UK.

Because many fathers never built a strong bond with their sons, these boys grow up unable to have open, face to face conversations with them. The connection simply isn’t there. It’s time for a new generation of fathers to do better and change the narrative.

This week, Ghana will table a historic resolution at the UN to recognise the transatlantic trafficking and enslavement of Africans as a crime against humanity. I’ve written to the government to ask whether they will support this and, if not, why?
