The Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has stressed the government’s resolve in building an inclusive Ghana where women will not be left out.
With the Women’s Development Bank and 24-Hour Economy policy, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration will empower women to become pivotal in building a stronger nation.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, May 10, 2026, where she wished all mothers across the globe, and especially Ghana a ‘Happy Mother’s Day’, the Vice President said the contribution of women in developing a nation cannot be overemphasised.
She explained that the role of women make them the fulcrum on which many economies revolve, the reason the government needs to empower them to provide that support.
“Today, we recognise the strength, sacrifice, wisdom, and unconditional love of mothers across Ghana and around the world. Mothers hold families, communities, and, in many cases, entire economies together. Their resilience and dedication continue to inspire,” she stated.
On the nation’s responsibility towards women empowerment, the Vice President said: “As a government, we remain committed to improving the lives of women and mothers through deliberate interventions that promote empowerment, dignity, and opportunity.”
“Through initiatives like the 24-hour markets and the Women’s Development Bank, we are working to create a more inclusive and supportive Ghana,” she added.
She further stated that government is “also investing in skills training, apprenticeship programmes, access to finance, and the nationwide provision of free sanitary pads for schoolgirls.”
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang appreciated every motherly figure in the country, assuring them that their sacrifices and contributions would not go unnoticed.
“On this special day, I acknowledge every mother, grandmother, guardian, and woman who plays a maternal role in the lives of others. Your love and service do not go unnoticed. May God richly bless and strengthen you always. Happy Mother’s Day”
