  1. Mahama must present long-term economic vision, says GIMPA rector

    Professor Stephen Adei has called on President John Mahama to outline a clear long-term economic transformation roadmap for Ghana, arguing that while it would be unfair to judge the government less than two years in on its economic transformation, the president should now present his vision beyond current stabilisation efforts to leave a lasting legacy.

  4. Small-scale mining must follow responsible practices

    Former GIMPA Rector Professor Stephen Adei has urged the government to enforce responsible small-scale mining practices, warning that Ghana's gold production must not result in poisoned rivers, destroyed farmlands, and environmental damage. He said the state should ensure gold is mined responsibly rather than stopping small-scale mining, and noted that recorded gold production rose from 63 tonnes in 2024 to 103 tonnes in 2025, with much of the increase coming from small-scale mining captured through the Ghana Gold Board.

  3. Grading system cannot explain WASSCE performance variations, prof says

    Prof Stephen Adei argues that because the WASSCE grading system has remained consistent over years, it cannot explain variations in candidates' performance and suggests attention should focus instead on placement systems and possible declining academic standards.
