The Southwest zonal office of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday upturned the suspension of the Chairman of the party in Ibadan North East Local Government of Oyo State, Taiwo Iyiola, over alleged anti-party activities.  It said the suspension of Iyiola by the State Working Committee (SWC) was arbitrarily without any preliminary hearing as demanded by the party’s constitution.  PDP spokesman in Oyo State Akeem Olatunji said on the phone that the Zonal Secretary, Daisi Akintan, who signed the letter reinstating the suspended chairman, lacked power to act without the consent of the Zonal Chairman, Dayo Ogunbenro. He said the purported letter was null and void.

Minister of Communication, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has said that her ministry is determined to implement programmes that will ensure an end to the stereotyping that thwarts the efforts of young women pursuing science and technology courses in Ghana.

According to her, the number of young women in the ICT sector needs to be increased to produce women achievers.

Speaking at the launch of Ms Geek Ghana Competition in Accra on Wednesday, 9 October 2019, Mrs Owusu-Ekuful revealed that the young women in ICT agenda is in line with the government's determination to ensure that women are empowered to develop software and other technology-driven solutions aimed at resolving emerging problems.

She said: “The statistics aren’t very encouraging. So, for us at the Ministry of Communication, we are determined to put in place initiatives that will eliminate all forms of stereotyping for young women pursuing science, engineering, mathematics, etc”.

The Ms Geek Ghana Competition is geared toward empowering young women to enter Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
