❤️ Michael Carrick’s letter to Manchester United fans.
“Dear United fans,
I've had the immense privilege of leading Manchester United, the football club that I love.
There are very few who get to live that and feel it, and for that I'm incredibly grateful.
With that comes huge responsibility, and to be at Manchester United, you need to understand exactly what that means.
It's different to anywhere else.
Ultimately, you need to push to be the best, but there is a culture, there are values and there are behaviours that you have to live by and respect, which have been built over a long period of time.
It's a football club that is unique, with substance and history that cannot be ignored.
This is what inspired me every single day.
I want to say a big thank you to the supporters. I must say, you are a special, rare breed.
We've had some great times this year and moments we'll all remember. The best thing about being in my position was seeing so many of you lose yourselves in the emotion of those moments, leaving the stadium desperate to come back again next time.
I just wanted to give you something back.
That love never dies.
I know we've not had the results lately, but you've shown me nothing but love and support in times when the easiest thing, and what most end up doing, would be to turn the other way.
That means more than a win or two.
That's what makes you who you are.
That's why I fell in love with this club all those years ago.
A special thank you to my coaching staff. You gave me everything you had, every single day, and I couldn't have asked for any more. I'm incredibly grateful for your loyalty, hard work and support throughout.
To all the staff behind the scenes, thank you for everything you do for this football club. So much of your work goes unseen, but it never goes unappreciated.
And to the players, thank you for your efforts and the moments we've shared. I wish you all the very best for what's ahead.
I want nothing but success for Manchester United. This club has been such a big part of my life and that will never change. I'll always be proud to have played my part and I'll always want the very best for it.
I'll be right there with you from now on, watching from the sidelines, cheering the lads on”.

How exciting to see our very own Dr. Ephraim Amu celebrated on the 20-cedi note🇬🇭
A beautiful reminder that nation-building goes beyond politics and economics. Music, arts, culture and extraordinary talent are equally deserving of national recognition.
Dr. Ephraim Amu’s legacy reminds us that those who preserve our culture, shape our identity and inspire generations deserve to be celebrated.
I absolutely love this recognition! 🇬🇭❤️
A story we heard in law school about Justice Annie Jiagge has stayed with me. In a divorce case, a lawyer sought every household item for his client, down to the broom and spoons. When questioned, he insisted, “Those are my instructions.”
Her response? “Counsel, do you take stupid instructions?”
That was her courage. A woman who challenged injustice and refused to accept the unreasonable as normal.
Never underestimate the significance of the little things you do. What may seem like a simple act, such as being the first woman to open a bank account, can become a powerful symbol of progress and inspiration for an entire nation.
Dear young woman, never underestimate your place in history. Every step you take can open doors for generations of women after you.
Be intentional. Be courageous. Make your actions count.

Rio Ferdinand on Michael Carrick’s sacking:
"I’m consistent in the fact that I felt that I thought he deserved more time.
This has been difficult for me because I consider him more than just a teammate.
I just really feel that he deserves more time to go through a rough patch and come out.
And give him a chance to come out the other side." [@RioMeets]

Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, says government is considering a policy requiring rice importers to purchase up to 50% of their intended import volumes from local farmers before receiving import permits.
Speaking at KNUST, he said the proposal is aimed at securing markets for local rice farmers and reducing Ghana’s dependence on imported rice.

President John Dramani Mahama has officially announced a major new offshore oil and gas discovery, promising to significantly boost Ghana’s burgeoning energy sector.
He made the announcement during his opening remarks at the 2026 Local Content Conference in Takoradi.
The discovery, made at the Nya Gyidie 9-1X well in the Deepwater Cape Trade Points contract area, is a significant milestone for Ghana.
The exploration project was a collaborative effort between the energy giant Planet One Oil and Gas Ltd. and its partners, Goil Upstream Ltd. and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC).
In a passionate declaration before conference attendees, President Mahama highlighted the determination of the consortium. “With ‘Nya Gyidie’, which means ‘faith’ in the local Twi language, they demonstrated unyielding faith and have now reaped the rewards with a major discovery,” he said.
“By drilling this well, Planet One and its partners not only fulfilled an exploration commitment but also demonstrated unwavering confidence in Ghana and our future research and development agenda.”
President Mahama characterised the Nya Gyidie finding as a groundbreaking geological success, describing it as the country's first successful test of a Cenomanian-Turonian Carbonate-Clay play. This technical milestone opens up new potential for future offshore exploration in similar geological formations.
He noted that the discovery serves as a clear indicator of growing business confidence in response to reforms recently introduced into Ghana's petroleum sector. According to President Mahama, it is critical for Ghana to continue attracting necessary investments to discover and develop new reserves while ensuring that local businesses and workers can effectively compete for a greater share of the industry's opportunities.
“Our priority now is to accelerate responsible exploration and to swiftly put in place the crucial infrastructure Ghana needs to develop its petroleum resources sustainably,” President Mahama said. “We must turn these resources into tangible jobs and opportunities for Ghanaians and deliver lasting improvements in the lives of our people.”
The news of the discovery has been met with optimism within the Ghanaian energy industry, signalling a new chapter of growth and local participation in the oil and gas sector. The conference is expected to continue its focus on maximising local content and participation throughout the week.
