New Mfantsiman Old Girls (MOGA) president takes office

Mrs Henrietta Opokua Amissah, the newly elected President of the Mfantsiman Old Girls Association (MOGA), has vowed to lead the association with integrity, vision, and inclusiveness. She outlined plans to foster community-driven initiatives that empower members while strengthening support for their alma mater.

Speaking at the swearing-in and induction ceremony for the newly elected national executives at the Accra Ridge Church on Sunday, she highlighted mentorship programmes as a key initiative. These programmes aim to nurture talents, shape character, and instil values in current students to guide them in their future endeavours.

Mrs Amissah also emphasized the role of technology in enhancing engagement among members, expanding opportunities, and increasing MOGA’s impact beyond the school’s walls. Additionally, she encouraged a culture of giving back, recognizing the contributions of past generations in shaping the success of the association’s members.

On development projects, the MOGA president reaffirmed her commitment to completing ongoing initiatives and launching new ones to support the school. She cited the completion of an ultra-modern ICT library as a priority, aimed at providing students with a conducive learning environment to excel academically.

The ten-member executive team was sworn in by Justice Eleanor Kakra Barnes-Botchway, a Circuit Court Judge at Gbetsile, Tema, and a proud member of MOGA. She urged the new leadership to serve with humility and avoid pride and arrogance in their dealings with members.

Delivering a sermon at the event, the Very Reverend Dr Abraham Boateng encouraged the executives to serve willingly, assuring them that their dedication would be rewarded in time.

Mr Moses Kwesi Baiden Junior, Ebusuapanyin of the Mfantsipim Old Boys Association (MOBA), reaffirmed MOBA’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with MOGA to advance their shared goals.

Meanwhile, a cash donation of GHS 10,000 was made in support of the upcoming Speech and Prize-Giving Day in early March. The event also saw the presence of alumni from allied Cape Coast schools, including Adisadel College, Wesley Girls‘ High School, and Saint Augustine‘s College.

Mfantsiman Girls’ School was initiated in 1958 by Ghana’s first president, the late Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, and officially established in 1960 as a gesture of appreciation to the people of Saltpond for their role in the country’s struggle for independence.
