NewsGhana has been added to the Global Project Oasis Media Directory, a research initiative led by SembraMedia that maps independent digital media organisations around the world.
Project Oasis describes itself as a global research project focused on independent digital media, with its directory containing more than 3,000 media profiles across dozens of countries.
NewsGhana Added to Global Project Oasis Media Directory 2
According to the information provided in the NewsGhana profile, the organisation is a digital-only publisher founded in 2015 and based in Accra. The profile identifies it as a for-profit organisation with a team comprising seven full-time employees, three part-time employees and six freelance contributors.
The profile says NewsGhana covers a broad range of subjects, including politics, business, health, education, technology, sports and human rights.
Its listed journalism formats include breaking news, explanatory reporting, investigative work and opinion pieces, reflecting a general-interest approach to digital journalism.
Inclusion in Project Oasis
Project Oasis says media organisations included in its directory are assessed against criteria designed to identify digital-native outlets that produce original content serving the public interest while operating with editorial independence and transparency.
The project also notes that information in individual profiles may be supplied directly by the media organisations and recommends that important details be verified with the organisation concerned.
A Growing African Media Directory
Project Oasis has been expanding its research into Africa, including Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and Morocco.
The initiative’s broader objective is to improve understanding of independent digital media, their business models, challenges and contribution to the public interest.
For NewsGhana, the addition provides an international profile of the organisation’s digital operations, editorial coverage and audience reach while placing it within a growing global database of independent digital publishers.
Clarification: Project Oasis is led by SembraMedia and supported by the Google News Initiative. Being listed in the Project Oasis directory should not, by itself, be described as NewsGhana being a direct Google News Initiative partner or member.
The Bureau of Ghana Languages (BGL) has rejected calls for Ghana to adopt a single indigenous language as the country’s national language, with its Executive Secretary, Ebenezer Ahiator, arguing that elevating one local language could create tensions among speakers of Ghana’s many indigenous languages.
Bureau of Ghana Languages Rejects Calls to Make Akan Ghana’s Official Language 4
Mr Ahiator reportedly made the position known when he appeared before Parliament’s Committee on Chieftaincy, Culture and Religious Affairs, where the issue of Ghana’s language policy came under discussion.
The development comes amid renewed debate over whether Ghana should give greater national status to an indigenous language, particularly Akan, which is widely spoken across the country.
BGL cautions against choosing one indigenous language
According to reports from the parliamentary engagement, Mr Ahiator said Ghana should not select one indigenous language as a national language because speakers of other Ghanaian languages could feel marginalised.
A social-media graphic circulating from Ghana Today attributes the stronger wording, “We will not recognize Akan as Ghana’s official language,” to Mr Ahiator.
However, the more directly reported position is that the Bureau opposes adopting one indigenous language as a national language. GhanaMedia.net has therefore treated the wording in the graphic as an attributed statement rather than presenting it as a formal declaration that Akan has been specifically rejected as an official language.
Why Akan is at the centre of the debate
Akan is among Ghana’s most widely spoken indigenous languages and is used extensively in homes, markets, broadcasting and everyday communication.
The Bureau of Ghana Languages supports several Ghanaian languages for public information and educational purposes. Research on Ghana’s language landscape identifies Akan, Ewe, Dangme, Ga, Nzema, Dagaare, Gonja, Kasem and Dagbani among the government-supported languages.
The debate, therefore, is not simply about whether Akan is widely spoken. It is about whether one indigenous language should receive a status that distinguishes it from the country’s other languages.
English remains dominant
English continues to occupy the central position in Ghana’s official and administrative life. Academic research on Ghana’s language policy describes English as the country’s official language while noting the government-supported status of several indigenous languages.
The question of an indigenous national language has nevertheless persisted for decades.
A major concern is Ghana’s considerable linguistic diversity. Giving one language special national status could be interpreted by speakers of other languages as placing their own linguistic and cultural identities below that of the selected language.
Mr Ahiator’s position reflects that concern.
The wider conversation
The discussion also touches on the preservation and promotion of Ghanaian languages.
Article 39 of the 1992 Constitution requires the State to foster the development of Ghanaian languages and promote pride in Ghanaian culture.
The challenge is therefore how Ghana can strengthen indigenous languages without creating a hierarchy among the country’s linguistic communities.
The current debate has already generated strong reactions, particularly online, with some Ghanaians arguing that Akan’s widespread use makes it a natural candidate for greater national recognition, while others insist that no single indigenous language should be elevated above the rest.
For now, the Bureau of Ghana Languages’ position is that Ghana should not adopt one indigenous language as its national language.
The debate is likely to continue as policymakers, linguists, traditional authorities and the public consider how Ghana can preserve its linguistic diversity while improving the use of indigenous languages in education, governance and public communication.
Ghanaian traditional spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam is being widely discussed following a claim attributed to him that he has 5,236 pastors, or “men of God,” under his influence.
A graphic circulating online attributes the statement to Nana Kwaku Bonsam and quotes him as saying he has given the pastors the “power to work.”
However, GhanaMedia.net has not independently verified the authenticity, date or original source of the specific 5,236 figure contained in the circulating graphic.
The claim is nevertheless consistent with previous public statements attributed to Nana Kwaku Bonsam concerning his alleged relationships with Christian ministers.
Nana Kwaku Bonsam Claims 5,236 Pastors Are Under His Influence 6
Similar claims have been made before
In a 2021 report, YEN.com.gh reported that Kwaku Bonsam claimed to have 4,932 pastors under his power, saying they came from different countries to seek spiritual powers to operate their churches.
A 2019 report by GhPage similarly quoted him as saying that more than 4,000 pastors or prophets performed miracles with powers he had provided.
Earlier reports from 2016 and 2017 carried a lower figure of more than 1,700 pastors and men of God whom Bonsam claimed to have assisted with spiritual powers.
In a 2008 interview published by Daily Guide and reproduced by MyJoyOnline, Bonsam also claimed that he had given more than 1,000 men of God powers to perform miracles.
These historical reports establish that Bonsam has repeatedly made claims about providing spiritual assistance or powers to pastors. They do not independently establish the accuracy of the latest 5,236 figure.
A controversial claim
The allegations have historically generated controversy because they challenge the distinction between traditional spiritual practices and Christian ministry.
Bonsam has previously claimed that pastors approached him for powers relating to healing, prophecy and other purported supernatural abilities. Those claims have been reported as his own statements rather than independently established facts.
The latest graphic does not identify the pastors allegedly involved, nor does it provide evidence supporting the claim that 5,236 pastors are currently under his influence.
GhanaMedia.net therefore considers the 5,236 figure an allegation attributed to Nana Kwaku Bonsam, rather than an independently verified fact.
The development is likely to renew public discussion about the relationship between traditional spirituality, Christianity and claims of supernatural power in Ghana.
GhanaMedia.net will update this report if the original interview or a credible primary source for the 5,236 figure becomes available.
Nigerian authorities have arrested or killed dozens of soldiers following a failed mutiny in Niamey on August 29, 2026, after armed troops attacked strategic locations including the airport and areas around the presidential palace.
The unrest was one of the most serious internal challenges to General Abdourahamane Tiani’s military government since he seized power in July 2023.
Niger Arrests Dozens After Failed Coup Attempt as Mutinous Soldiers Are Detained 8
The confrontation centred on Air Base 101, located within Diori Hamani International Airport. Mutinous soldiers reportedly took colleagues hostage and exchanged gunfire with loyalist forces. They also attempted to target the presidential area and state broadcaster, whose broadcasts were temporarily disrupted.
Defence Minister General Salifou Mody said security forces were gradually restoring control. By August 30, authorities had regained control of Base 101 and other affected areas, with normal activity returning to Niamey.
Dozens detained or killed
State television showed footage of dozens of detained soldiers. The Associated Press reported that dozens were killed or arrested, but the exact number detained remains unclear.
Some social-media posts accompanying images of the soldiers claim the detainees are awaiting execution by firing squad if convicted by a military tribunal.
GhanaMedia.net has found no credible independent confirmation that the soldiers have been sentenced to death or are awaiting execution. Authorities had not publicly disclosed charges against the detainees, according to AP.
GhanaMedia.net therefore does not present the execution claim as established fact.
Russian support and growing pressure
Russia’s Africa Corps reportedly provided aerial and ground support to Nigerien forces during the confrontation, according to Russian officials, analysts and diplomats cited by AP.
The mutiny reportedly involved young soldiers frustrated by deteriorating security conditions and heavy military losses in Niger’s fight against militant groups.
The development raises fresh questions about morale and cohesion within Niger’s armed forces, particularly as Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso deepen security ties with Russia while facing persistent jihadist violence.
The identities, roles and possible charges of those detained remain subject to official clarification.
GhanaMedia.net will continue to follow developments surrounding the detained soldiers and any official announcement on their legal proceedings.
Development advocate Gabriel Agambila has criticised the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly’s decision to restrict certain social events from running beyond 8:00 p.m., arguing that the measure contradicts the broader objectives of the government’s 24-hour economy policy.
Mr Agambila said the restriction, if strictly enforced, could undermine economic activities within the municipality and create public dissatisfaction with the government, particularly at a time when the administration is encouraging businesses and economic activities to operate beyond conventional daytime hours.
Bolgatanga 8PM Events Ban Contradicts Mahama's 24-Hour Economy Vision – Gabriel Agambila 10
His comments follow a decision by the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly to impose an 8:00 p.m. deadline on passing-out ceremonies, graduation ceremonies and launching events held within the municipality.
According to the Assembly’s Presiding Member, Lambert Akunzebe, the restriction forms part of revised municipal bylaws aimed at maintaining public order and addressing concerns associated with events that continue late into the night.
The Assembly says organisers and venue owners who breach the regulation could face penalties, while repeat offenders could be prosecuted. The revised bylaws have reportedly been gazetted and are expected to be distributed to institutions, including the Ghana Police Service, the courts, the National Commission for Civic Education and traditional authorities, to facilitate enforcement.
However, Mr Agambila believes the restriction sends the wrong signal at a time when the government is promoting an economy designed to function around the clock.
He argued that events and entertainment-related activities are part of the local economy, providing income for event organisers, musicians, sound engineers, decorators, caterers, security personnel, transport operators, food vendors and other businesses.
He therefore cautioned that restricting such activities to 8:00 p.m. could negatively affect people whose livelihoods depend on evening and night-time economic activities.
“The government is talking about a 24-hour economy, but if people cannot organise legitimate events beyond 8:00 p.m., what message are we sending to the people?” Mr Agambila questioned.
Ghana’s 24-hour economy policy is intended to create an enabling environment for businesses and public institutions to operate around the clock, with the policy framework envisaging three eight-hour shifts. It is aimed at boosting productivity, creating employment and expanding economic opportunities.
The policy has since moved from a campaign proposal to an official government programme. President John Dramani Mahama assented to the 24-Hour Economy Authority Bill in February 2026, giving legal backing to the implementation of the initiative.
The government has subsequently promoted 24-hour markets and other economic infrastructure as part of efforts to stimulate commercial activity beyond traditional working hours. President Mahama has said the initiative is intended to create jobs, increase productivity and ensure that economic activity continues around the clock.
Mr Agambila said while maintaining public order and protecting residents from excessive noise and other disturbances were legitimate responsibilities of the Municipal Assembly, the solution should not necessarily be a blanket 8:00 p.m. deadline.
He called for dialogue between the Assembly, event organisers, traditional authorities, security agencies, residents and other stakeholders to develop regulations that balance public safety with economic activity.
According to him, mechanisms such as proper event permits, designated venues, noise-control measures, security arrangements and clear closing times could be considered instead of an outright restriction that could affect businesses and employment.
He further warned that the policy could have political consequences for the government if residents perceive local government regulations as being inconsistent with the administration’s flagship economic agenda.
Mr Agambila maintained that the government must ensure that policies implemented at the local level complement, rather than undermine, its national economic objectives.
He urged the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly to reconsider the restriction and engage stakeholders to find a more balanced approach that protects public order while allowing legitimate economic and social activities to thrive.
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Customs Division has warned travellers arriving in Ghana that carrying more than two mobile phones could result in the devices being treated as commercial imports and subjected to customs duty.
The warning was issued by the Commissioner of Customs, Aaron Kanor, during a briefing with journalists at the Kotoka International Airport on September 2, 2026.
GRA Warns Travellers Bringing More Than Two Phones Into Ghana May Face Customs Duty 12
According to the Commissioner, travellers are expected to limit the number of mobile phones they carry to those reasonably intended for personal use.
He particularly cautioned travellers against accepting phones from relatives, friends or acquaintances abroad and transporting several handsets on their behalf.
Mr Kanor explained that where a traveller arrives with multiple devices, particularly newer and high-value phones, Customs may consider the quantity to indicate commercial activity rather than ordinary personal baggage.
“Travellers should not bring more than two phones into the country; anything beyond that will be considered commercial importation at the Airport,” Mr Kanor said, according to reports from the briefing.
He gave an example of travellers returning with several phones collected from different people, saying such quantities could move the items beyond what Customs would regard as personal effects.
What travellers need to know
The warning does not necessarily mean Ghana has introduced a new standalone tax on every second or third phone.
Rather, the issue concerns the classification of multiple devices as commercial imports. Once goods are regarded as commercial, applicable customs duties and taxes can arise.
The GRA’s existing passenger guidance states that personal effects must be for the traveller’s own use and not for sale or intended for other people. It also directs passengers carrying commercial goods to use the Red Channel for declaration.
The GRA’s customs procedures further provide that duties and taxes on imported goods are determined through the customs declaration, classification and valuation process.
Mr Kanor also disclosed plans for greater automation of passenger profiling at Ghana’s airports as part of efforts to improve customs controls.
The development is likely to affect travellers who routinely return from overseas with several phones purchased or received on behalf of family members and friends.
Travellers are therefore being advised to declare items where required and avoid carrying multiple devices for other people without first understanding the applicable Customs requirements.
A suspected thief has reportedly been caught in the act while allegedly cutting underground copper cables installed to power streetlights along the Anyaa–Ablekuma stretch in Accra.
According to reports, the man was found using a hacksaw to cut the cables, which form part of the electrical infrastructure supporting street lighting along the road.
Suspect reportedly caught before completing theft
The suspect was reportedly discovered while attempting to cut and remove the underground cables before he could complete the operation and make away with them.
The incident has raised concerns about the vulnerability of public electrical infrastructure to vandalism and theft, particularly because the cables are connected to streetlights that contribute to visibility and road safety at night.
Impact on street lighting and public safety
The theft or destruction of underground power cables can leave affected streetlights without electricity, potentially creating dark stretches along busy roads.
The circumstances surrounding the incident, including the extent of any damage to the streetlighting system and whether other individuals were involved, were not immediately clear in the available reports.
The latest incident also highlights the wider challenge posed by theft and vandalism of electrical infrastructure, which can impose additional costs on authorities and disrupt public services.
Authorities yet to disclose further details
Details about the suspect’s identity, whether he was formally arrested or charged, and the next steps in the case have not been established from the available reporting.
GhanaMedia.net will continue to follow developments concerning the incident and any official action that may follow.

Accra, Ghana — September 3, 2026 — The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has reached an agreement with Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz for his reappointment as head coach of the Black Stars.
The decision comes only a few weeks after the conclusion of his previous mandate, which included leading Ghana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
GFA Reappoints Carlos Queiroz as Black Stars Head Coach 16
According to the GFA, discussions involving the Association, Queiroz and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation resulted in an agreement for the experienced coach to take charge of the national team under a new mandate.
New mandate begins during upcoming international window
The GFA said Queiroz’s new assignment will commence during the upcoming international window.
The Association said his extensive international experience, technical expertise and knowledge of the Black Stars were key factors behind the decision to bring him back.
“The GFA believes Queiroz’s extensive international experience, technical expertise and knowledge of the Black Stars position him strongly to lead the team into this next chapter.”
The duration and specific terms of the new mandate have not been disclosed. The GFA said further details concerning the appointment and the Black Stars’ upcoming programme would be announced in due course.
Queiroz returns after World Cup campaign
Queiroz’s previous mandate was centred on Ghana’s participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Portuguese coach guided the Black Stars to the Round of 32, where Ghana’s campaign ended following a defeat to Colombia. His initial agreement concluded after the tournament, before discussions began over his future with the national team.
His return provides continuity on the Black Stars’ technical bench as Ghana prepares for its next international commitments.
Immediate focus on 2027 AFCON qualifiers
Queiroz’s first major task in his renewed spell will be Ghana’s campaign in the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars are scheduled to face Côte d’Ivoire during the September international window, with the qualification programme beginning later this month.
The compressed international schedule means Queiroz will have limited time to prepare the squad before Ghana’s next competitive fixtures.
GFA backs experience and familiarity
The GFA’s decision reflects its preference for an experienced coach who already understands the Black Stars setup.
Queiroz has previously managed several national teams, including Portugal, Iran, Colombia and Egypt, giving him extensive experience at international level.
His familiarity with Ghana’s players and the national-team environment was also cited by the GFA as an advantage as the team moves into a new phase.
The Association said it and Queiroz will now focus on building what it described as a successful new chapter for Ghana on the international stage.
What happens next?
With the appointment confirmed, attention will now turn to Queiroz’s squad selection and preparations for Ghana’s upcoming international fixtures.
The GFA has not yet announced the full details of the coach’s new mandate, including its duration, specific performance targets or other contractual terms.
For now, the Portuguese coach is set to return to the Black Stars dugout as Ghana begins preparations for the next stage of its international programme.
Accra, Ghana — September 2, 2026 — The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) recorded a net profit of GH¢2.82 billion in 2025, representing a 17.18% increase from approximately GH¢2.41 billion recorded in 2024.
The Authority’s total revenue also increased from GH¢6.998 billion in 2024 to GH¢7.620 billion in 2025, according to the 2025 State Ownership Report published by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA). SIGA published the report on August 28, 2026.
The figures reinforce GPHA’s position as one of Ghana’s consistently profitable state-owned enterprises and a major contributor to the country’s transport and logistics sector.
GPHA Records GH¢2.82 Billion Net Profit as Revenue Rises to GH¢7.62 Billion 18
Operating revenue records growth
According to the report, GPHA’s operating revenue increased by 5.95%, rising from GH¢5.252 billion in 2024 to GH¢5.564 billion in 2025.
The growth was largely supported by increased income from cargo services and facilities, reflecting the continued importance of Ghana’s ports to international trade and the national logistics chain.
GPHA’s interest in Meridian Port Services Limited (MPS) also contributed substantially to its performance.
Its share of profit from MPS increased from GH¢1.276 billion in 2024 to GH¢1.531 billion in 2025, representing about 20.09% of GPHA’s total revenue for the year.
Profitability and returns improve
GPHA’s net profit margin rose from 45.83% in 2024 to 50.69% in 2025.
The Authority’s profit trajectory has also strengthened significantly over the five-year period. Net profit increased from:
GH¢485.70 million in 2021
GH¢655 million in 2022
GH¢690.10 million in 2023
GH¢2.401 billion in 2024
GH¢2.821 billion in 2025
The transport and logistics subsector as a whole remained profitable throughout the five-year period, with aggregate net profit increasing by 9.16% to GH¢3.211 billion in 2025.
GPHA recorded an average annual net profit of approximately GH¢1.410 billion during the period, the second-highest average among state-owned enterprises that remained profitable throughout the five years.
Returns also improved. Return on assets increased from 16.47% to 19.07%, while return on equity rose from 45.98% to approximately 49.55%.
Stronger balance sheet and cash position
GPHA’s total assets stood at approximately GH¢19.544 billion at the end of 2025.
Total equity increased by 16.01%, from GH¢13.069 billion in 2024 to GH¢15.162 billion in 2025.
The Authority’s equity multiplier declined from 1.48 times to 1.29 times, indicating reduced financial leverage during the year.
Its short-term debt coverage also improved from 1.63 times in 2024 to 2.15 times in 2025.
Operating activities generated approximately GH¢3.189 billion in net cash flow, while cash and cash equivalents increased to approximately GH¢1.648 billion.
Investments continue across ports
The financial performance was accompanied by investments aimed at improving Ghana’s port infrastructure and operational efficiency.
At the Port of Tema, GPHA commenced dredging works to deepen the main harbour basin to a chart datum of minus 14 metres.
The Authority also deployed cargo and container haulage trucks to improve movement across terminals and completed a phase of breakwater restoration designed to reduce direct wave action within the harbour basin.
GPHA further commenced 24-hour operations across all operational areas, potentially improving cargo processing and reducing delays.
Environmental measures included the installation of real-time air-quality monitoring systems financed through internally generated funds and climate-resilient reinforcement of port breakwater infrastructure.
GPHA remains a major state employer
Established in 1986, GPHA is responsible for planning, developing, managing, maintaining and controlling Ghana’s seaports.
Its mandate covers vessel handling, stevedoring, cargo transfer and storage, container and general-cargo services, security, safety and port conservancy.
The 2025 State Ownership Report puts GPHA’s workforce at approximately 8,020 employees, making it the second-largest employer among the individual state-owned enterprises covered by the report.
Stronger position in Ghana’s logistics economy
GPHA’s 2025 results point to a combination of stronger profitability, improved returns, increased equity and substantial operating cash generation.
The performance also comes alongside continued investment in port infrastructure, environmental monitoring and round-the-clock operations.
As Ghana seeks to strengthen its position as a regional trade and logistics hub, the financial and operational performance of GPHA remains significant to the country’s wider transport and logistics ambitions.

Accra, Ghana — September 2, 2026 — GhanaMedia.net has been officially featured in the Project Oasis Global Media Directory, placing the Ghanaian digital news organisation among independent media outlets mapped through a global research initiative focused on digital-native journalism.
The Project Oasis profile identifies Ghana Media, operating through GhanaMedia.net, as an independent digital news organisation based in Accra and lists its coverage across Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa. The profile was last updated in September 2026
GhanaMedia.net Featured in Global Project Oasis Directory as Independent Digital News Organisation 20
According to the official Project Oasis directory, GhanaMedia.net produces original content and covers a broad range of subjects, including education, politics, technology, sports, economy and business, lifestyle, and entertainment and culture.
The directory also records GhanaMedia.net’s journalism genres as interviews and reporting and opinion, while identifying breaking news, live event coverage and explanatory journalism among its coverage techniques.
Project Oasis describes the GhanaMedia.net profile as meeting SembraMedia’s inclusion criteria, which require media organisations included in the directory to produce original content, serve the public interest, and operate with independence and transparency.
The directory states that the profile was developed using information provided directly by the media organisation through surveys or interviews.
A growing digital footprint
The Project Oasis profile records GhanaMedia.net’s social-media footprint, including 630,314 Facebook followers and 16,400 TikTok followers, alongside its presence on X, Instagram and YouTube.
The directory identifies Daniel Jeddman as the organisation’s founder and director and records GhanaMedia as a for-profit media organisation based in Accra.
It also lists GhanaMedia.net as having begun publishing in 2023, with English as its language of publication and international coverage focused on Ghana and other African countries.
What the Google News Initiative connection means
Project Oasis is a global research initiative that maps independent digital media organisations, news creators and publishers in exile across more than 65 countries.
Its official website says the initiative is led by SembraMedia and supported by the Google News Initiative, with the project designed to increase visibility for independent digital media and provide research into the opportunities and challenges facing the sector.
The Google News Initiative (GNI) itself works with publishers and journalists to combat misinformation and support a diverse and innovative news ecosystem.
It is therefore important to distinguish between the two relationships: GhanaMedia.net is listed in the Project Oasis Global Media Directory, while Project Oasis itself is supported by the Google News Initiative. The available Project Oasis profile does not state that GhanaMedia.net is a direct Google News Initiative member or partner.
