Activa International Insurance appoints Salifu Abubakari as Acting MD

The Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, joined a community clean-up exercise in the Nungua area of Accra as part of the National Clean-up Exercise - urging Ghanaians to adopt responsible sanitation practices and warning that indiscriminate waste disposal is contributing to flooding and putting communities at risk.

Chief Executive Officer-Whitestone Shipbrokers Limited Gertrude Adwoa Ohene-Asienim has called for enactment of a dedicated Marine Insurance Act to replace the country’s heavy reliance on English marine insurance laws, arguing that locally-tailored legislation is needed.

The latest Eurobond repayment by government has strengthened confidence in the country’s commitment to honouring its post-restructuring debt obligations, but investors and analysts say sustained fiscal discipline and continued macroeconomic improvements will determine whether the gains translate into lower borrowing costs and a return to international capital markets.

Government is stepping up efforts to tackle Ghana’s recurring urban flooding by mobilising state institutions, including the Bank of Ghana (BoG), alongside the private sector under a strategy that combines sustained sanitation campaigns with infrastructure investment.
