Accra: Mrs Henrietta Opokua Amissah, the new President of the Mfantsiman Old Girls Association (MOGA), has pledged to lead the group with integrity, vision, and inclusiveness by fostering community initiatives to empower members.
According to Ghana News Agency, during an address at the Swearing-in and induction service for the newly elected National Executives at the Accra Ridge Church, Mrs Amissah outlined measures to achieve her goals. These include offering mentorship programs for current students to nurture talents and shape characters while instilling guiding values. She emphasized the role of technology in connecting members, expanding opportunities, and enhancing the association's impact beyond the school's walls.
Mrs Amissah encouraged a culture of giving back, acknowledging the contributions of predecessors. She committed, alongside other executive members, to impact their alma mater through new projects and the completion of ongoing ones. Specific plans include the completion of an ultra-modern ICT Library to provide a conducive learning environment for students. She highlighted the importance of collective strength, unity, and commitment in achieving these goals.
The ten-member executive was sworn in by Justice Eleanor Kakra Barnes-Botchway, a Circuit Court Judge at Gbetsile, Tema, and a MOGAN herself. She advised the new executives to avoid pride and arrogance in their roles. The Very Reverend Dr. Abraham Boateng, in his sermon, encouraged the executives to serve willingly without expecting rewards, assuring them time would bless their diligence.
Mr Moses Kwesi Baiden Junior, the Ebusuapanyin of Mfantsipim Old Boys Association (MOBA), expressed anticipation for deepened collaboration with MOGA to promote shared interests. He expressed confidence in collective efforts yielding positive outcomes and lasting impacts.
The ceremony also witnessed a 10,000 cash donation toward the upcoming Speech and Prize-giving Day in early March. Attendees included alumni from allied schools in the Cape Coast enclave, such as Adisadel College, Wesley Girls', and Saint Augustine's College.
Mfantsiman Girls School was initiated in 1958 by the Late Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first President, and was established in 1960 as a gesture of appreciation to the people of Saltpond for their role in the political struggle for independence.
