Ibrahim Sule, 31, tearfully appealed for assistance on Lawson Afisem on Lawson TV on June 30, 2026, to bring his 27-year-old wife, a mother of three, back to Ghana from Saudi Arabia. Sule stated his wife traveled to Saudi Arabia against his wishes and has since fallen seriously ill. She is reportedly in the custody of the agent who facilitated her trip, and the agent is demanding $3,000 for her return. Sule claimed his wife called him, informing him of her severe illness and collapse. He contacted the agent, pleading for her return and promising to pay the amount. He mentioned that his wife left six months ago, leaving him to care for their three children, and her family has not contributed to the $3,000 demand.

Former Minister of Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has expressed concerns regarding the relevance of certain university programs in Ghana, suggesting some do not adequately prepare students for the job market. Speaking on the Konnected Minds podcast, Dr Adutwum stated that during his tenure, he challenged universities on the structure and usefulness of academic courses that he believes do not translate into employable skills. He specifically cited Development Studies, offered at the University for Development Studies UDS, and the BA in Education Non-Teaching program at the University of Ghana. Dr Adutwum recounted that after his remarks about Development Studies, the Vice-Chancellor of UDS informed him that a student had withdrawn from the program. He criticized the BA in Education Non-Teaching program, noting that graduates often struggle to find employment after completing national service. He described such programs as leading to a "university degree to nowhere," contributing to graduate unemployment in the country.
