GOWA Woman of the Year, Adiza Ibrahim speaks at 4th ANEG Go Girls Summit
The reigning Woman of the Year at this year’s GOWA, Adiza Ibrahim has emphasized the need for girls to be intentional about their actions on the digital space.
She made these remarks when speaking on the theme “ Digital Generation, I make the Difference” at the just ended 4TH ANEG Go Girls Summit 2023.
According to her, “every Teen, adolescent and teenager need to be intentional about what they do on the digital space i.e. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram etc. because it is a place full of opportunities but also the same place that can make them lose focus and be pressured into doing something else.”
She encouraged the about 500 girls drawn from selected schools in the Shai Osudoku District to make the most out of their usage of social media by keeping an impactful presence and engagement worthy to emulate by their peers in and beyond the District.
She noted “the digital space is a place that can enable you even at this early age to promote your skills and talents and also an effective platform to share all the issues confronting you in your respective districts regarding the lack of basic social amenities like lack of electricity, lack of proper drinking water, lack of decent classrooms blocks and the lack of ICT training and the provision of computers.”

And the significant contributions of female professionals and mentors in nurturing girls’ self-esteem and development in their communities.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
