This according to the project owner will help them make a living and become self-sufficient so they do not become societal burden in the future. The three-day programme by Global Aid For the Marginalized saw an intensive industrial training of PWDs in margarine, sugar, Gari, Olonka, groundnut, bread,…

England will face Colombia in the last 16 of the World Cup after a spectacular strike by Adnan Januzaj ensured Belgium finished top of Group G. Gareth Southgate made eight changes from England’s win against Panama, while opposite number Roberto Martinez made nine alterations – proving victory was not exactly the top priority as the tournament moves towards the knockout phase. That was illustrated by a largely mediocre, lifeless encounter in Kaliningrad that was settled by Januzaj’s goal six minutes after the break, the former Manchester United attacker cutting inside before curling a left-foot finish high past Jordan Pickford. England…

They were the highest ranked side in this year’s tournament, to boot. But an opening…

Former Minister of Health Alexander Segbefia has expressed worry about the frequent comparison by members of the government, and more recently Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, between contracts signed in the previous government and cost. According to him, the manner of the comparison where details are not considered is quite unfortunate. Mr Segbefia, who is a former Deputy Chief of Staff, was speaking on TV3’s News 360 on Monday in reaction to Dr Bawumia’s assertion at a conference earlier in the day that a district hospital in Ghana cost $25 million, which is six times more than real value, under…
