Afenyo-Markin criticises government over alleged unfulfilled promises
He said promises such as “one job,” “women banking,” and an increase in the producer price of cocoa had not materialised, leaving many Ghanaians disappointed, particularly the youth seeking sustainable employment. The summit sought to inspire young people to discover their potential, challenge the status quo, innovate, and make meaningful contributions to society. Addressing the newly inaugurated YCF executives, Afenyo-Markin encouraged them to empower themselves and support other young people interested in civic engagement and policy-making. John Noble, President of the YCF, UCC Chapter, called for stronger collaboration among stakeholders, including politicians, economists, and innovators, to advance youth development initiatives. The Student Representative Council of UCC presented a citation to Afenyo-Markin in recognition of his contributions and service to national development.

GFL warns water shortages could undermine 24-Hour Economy policy
General News of Sunday, 22 February 2026Source: classfmonline.comThe Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Abraham Koomson, has cautioned that Ghana’s proposed 24-Hour Economy could encounter significant operational setbacks if critical infrastructure gaps — particularly in water supply — are not urgently addressed. Koomson warned that inconsistent or, in some cases, non-existent water supply in key industrial zones poses a serious threat to the success of the policy. Speaking on Ahotor FM on Saturday, February 21, he stressed that an uninterrupted water supply is essential for manufacturing and industrial processes. Without it, he said, businesses would find it difficult to implement effective shift systems under a 24-hour operational model. According to Koomson, these challenges significantly raise the cost of doing business and could discourage companies from fully embracing the 24-Hour Economy initiative.

Watch as Mr Beast surprises two dedicated Ghanaian 'village' teachers with brand new homes
After learning that Joseph and Emmanuel spent a significant portion of their salaries commuting to work, Mr Beast and his team built them a fully furnished two-apartment teachers’ bungalow. It also means pupils can now sit in well-furnished classrooms without fear of collapsing structures or leaking roofs interrupting their lessons. The fully furnished two-apartment bungalow built in their honour stands just a few steps away from the school. Instead, Joseph and Emmanuel can now focus entirely on what they love most, shaping young minds and nurturing dreams. In one small corner of Ghana, two basic school teachers who quietly did good for their pupils have become symbols of something bigger, and globally.
