The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has rolled out a nationwide training programme for all board of directors and key management staff of rural banks on the new Companies Act 2019, Act 992, to make them fully aware of their responsibilities.
This is to help rural banks escape the traps that befell some universal banks that led to their collapse and the famous banking sector clean-up.
The act mandates rural banks, as receivers of deposits, to be registered first as limited liability companies, hence the need to be abreast of the legal implications.

The Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources will leverage the image of the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GGCL) as a “big fish” in the media industry to take the national sanitation drive a notch higher.
The Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Ms Cecilia Abena Dapaah, said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s quest to make Ghana and Accra the cleanest country and city in Africa was not a fluke, for which reason the ministry, which is leading the charge, would bring all on board and seek the right partnerships to drive the dream forward.

Today, the farming community is celebrating the inauguration of a modern academic block comparable to any such building in a city.
