It was assuring because we were a bit apprehensive. Even the students are in support of him. The school chaplain approached us and ask that we go to the administration. There, the day students’ girls prefect also approached us. That was when everything changed, she came in warm, introduced herself, and told Oheneba he was going to be her school son and make sure he is comfortable on campus.” “I just got relieved and felt comfortable that he was safe because we also meet a teacher who has been protective of him since the first day because we met him today who ushered him into the classroom. So far I feel okay with the warm reception we received today.”, the mother expressed.

Meanwhile, the other rastafarian boy, Tyrone Marhguy, is yet to go through the admission process. He will go through the admission process tomorrow [Friday, June 4, 2021]. School backs down Achimota School backed down on a decision to freeze the court order to admit the two Rastafarian boys.

It said the decision comes after consultations with two stakeholders on the way forward. “Further to our statement issued on 1st June 2021 on the subject of two Rastafarian applicants, we have been in consultation with other relevant stakeholders to seek the best ways forward, taking into account the interests of all parties,” it said. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/bui-power-ceo-is-wrong-the-energy-minister-has-not-been-misled-by-gridco Adding that, “while the Board remains committed to the appeal against the High Court ruling, it will withdraw the application for a stay of execution pending the determination of the appeal by a higher court.” Students drag Achimota to court; judge rules in their favour An Accra High Court on Monday, May 31, 2021, delivered its ruling regarding the denial of two Rastafarian boys; Tyrone Marhguy and Oheneba Nkrabea admission to Achimota School because they failed to cut their dreadlocks. Justice Gifty Adjei Addo, the Presiding Judge, disagreed with the submissions of the Attorney General and granted all the reliefs separately sought by the embattled students except the relief of compensation in the case of Tyrone Marhguy.

Justice Gifty Adjei Addo consequently directed Achimota School to admit the two Rastafarian students. Following the court’s decision, Achimota School through its board announced that it will appeal the decision.

  • “Commit To Quit Campaign Will Help Create Healthier Environment Conducive For Quitting Tobacco"- FDA

    The Chief Executive Officer (C.E.O) of the Food and Drugs Authority, Delese Darko says she is confident that the ‘Commit To Quit’ campaign will help create a healthier environment that is conducive to quitting tobacco use. According to her, the campaign will advocate for stronger tobacco cessation policies, increase access to cessation services, raise awareness of tobacco industry tactics, and empower tobacco users to make successful quit attempts through the initiatives. Speaking at the World No Tobacco Day celebration, she said “In the light of this, the FDA and its partner agencies intend to embark on a year-long campaign aimed at supporting people who plan to quit tobacco use through the creation of communities of quitters” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/empire-star-bryshere-gray-sentenced-to-jail-in-domestic-violence-case Madam Darko stressed that to manage the challenge in accessing the rather few rehabilitation centers available in the country, she has been reliably informed that the WHO has set up a Digital Access Initiative for Quitting Tobacco and has partnered with tech companies like Facebook, WhatsApp to give free access to digital counseling, raise awareness and support tobacco users to quit. She added that the FDA aims to advance this cause by enabling access to cessation services through referrals and empowering tobacco users with the requisite information motivating them to quit. “Also, the institution will continually use its routine public education in schools, marketplaces and transport terminals as a platform to address specific challenges encountered by smokers in their quest to quit smoking” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/we-suspect-arson-targeted-at-destruction-and-concealment-of-material-evidence-at-tano-south-ndc It is emerging that Globally, tobacco kills more than 8 million people annually. More than 7 million of these deaths are from direct tobacco use and around 1.2 million are due to non-smokers who are exposed to second-hand smoke. Tobacco products are known to contain 7,000 chemicals; hundreds of which are known to be toxic while the use of nicotine and tobacco products, therefore, increases the risk of cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/summit-will-enable-authority-deliberate-take-decisions-on-political-security-in-mali-s-botchwey According to the Tobacco Atlas Ghana, it is estimated that over eight hundred and seven thousand, six hundred (807,600) people smoke cigarettes and other tobacco products in Ghana. Seventy-five (75) men also die every week through smoking and using tobacco and tobacco products in Ghana. Madam Darko said “Currently, the Ghanaian youth are moving away from the traditional tobacco use to the electronic tobacco due to its appeal in the form of flavoring and the myth that they are safer alternatives. These include Shisha and electronic or e-cigarette which are equally dangerous to human health” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/amplified-will-focus-on-amplifying-mentoring-youth-dev-t-activities-in-various-quarters-gov-t She noted that it is worrying to note that the new trend of tobacco use is higher among young female adults than in males, according to the Ghana Youth Tobacco Survey,2017 (0.4% of boys, and 1.7% of girls currently smoked shisha). “I want to therefore reiterate that shisha has no haven. Did you know that an hour’s session of shisha amounts to smoking 100 to 200 sticks of cigarettes? It really saddens my heart to see well-known people in society recklessly smoke shisha on social media platforms just to be in the trends What do we think we are teaching our future generation? As role models, we all need to support and play our role to fight this global tobacco disease pandemic” she added. The C.E.O further noted that the FDA is doing all it can within its mandate to fight the menace, but it cannot do it alone adding that it needs everybody on board.

The Minister further noted that considering the severe health effects and its impacts on the world’s population, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other global partners will continue to raise awareness of tobacco use's harmful effects.

  • "I Prefer A Boisterous, Reckless Media To A Supine One" — Akufo-Addo

    President Akufo-Addo says a vibrant media is the most effective way to hold Government and society to the highest standards of honesty, self-discipline, and delivery. According to him, reckless media is better than one that is weak and willing to accept being controlled. “Even as one of the public figures most persistently vilified in sections of the Ghanaian media, who, ironically, was a principal actor in the repeal of the law, I continue to insist that its repeal was necessary in the public interest in our emerging democracy. I maintain that I prefer a boisterous, reckless media, to a supine one,” he added. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/amplified-will-focus-on-amplifying-mentoring-youth-dev-t-activities-in-various-quarters-gov-t According to President Akufo-Addo, a historic victory was won in the struggle of the Ghanaian people for liberty and, especially, for freedom of expression by the repeal of the Criminal Libel Law, which brought to an end more than a century-old regime of colonial laws repressive of free expression. “I am proud of the modest role I played in the process of the repeal of the Criminal Libel Law. As the Attorney-General, who piloted the repeal through Parliament, I was also responsible for the discontinuation of the then-pending prosecutions, under the Criminal Libel Law, of notable Ghanaian journalists Tommy Thompson, Kofi Coomson, and Eben Quarcoo for publications against personalities of the then government,” the President said. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/summit-will-enable-authority-deliberate-take-decisions-on-political-security-in-mali-s-botchwey He noted that the repeal of the Criminal Libel Law has had a very positive impact on the development of the Ghanaian media, freeing it from unnecessary self-censorship, and promoting a robust and critical media culture. “In the process, (the repeal of the Criminal Libel Law) has contributed to the growth of a vibrant media that has won Ghana the reputation of having one of the most media-friendly and liberal climates on the continent. It has also contributed significantly to the deepening of democracy in our country, enhancing public accountability as a strategic goal of public policy,” President Akufo-Addo said. President Akufo-Addo made this known on Tuesday, 1st June 2021, when he delivered the keynote address at the Africa Journalists Leadership Conference, organized by the Federation of African Journalists, at the Alisa Hotel, in Accra. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/we-suspect-arson-targeted-at-destruction-and-concealment-of-material-evidence-at-tano-south-ndc As President of the Republic, the President told the gathering that he has seen to the passage of the Right to Information Act, which is meant to give effect to Article 21(1)(f) of the Constitution of the Republic. The culmination of all of these, he said, has meant that the Ghanaian citizen, through the presence of a dynamic media, is able to give boldly and freely his or her feedback on policies and programs of government. Civil society groups, President Akufo-Addo added, are able to interrogate fearlessly government actions and positions, compare them to global best practices, and offer views and critiques aimed at complementing the efforts of government; and the political opposition is able to raise dissent openly, canvass for alternate viewpoints, and, by so doing, offer our citizens alternatives to consider on all key issues of our national discourse.

    A 41-year-old Chinese man has been confirmed as the first human case of infection with a rare bird flu strain. Officials did not give details on how the man got infected but the H10N3 strain is thought to not easily spread from humans to humans.
