Women’s World Bank Ghana CEO Commends Ken Ofori Atta And His Team For Cedi Stabilization

The CEO of Women’s World Bank Ghana, Charlotte Lilly Baidoo has commended the efforts by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta and his economic management team for the stabilization of the cedi against the dollar.

Speaking in an exclusive interview on the Vim Talk Show last Saturday on Adom TV, Mrs. Baidoo argued that, “Mr. Ken Offori Atta and his team are doing a good job” although her preferred exchange rate would be in the margins of 4 GHC to a dollar.

“For now what they are doing is not bad, it is good. All I want is for the cedi to appreciate against the dollar, I think we are all comfortable around 4 GHC to a dollar but i don’t think it is realistic for the cedi to appreciate any further,” she argued.

The value of the cedi until recently had greatly reduced, sparking concerns of serious economic challenges. At a point, it was trading at GHC 5.80 to a dollar but it began gaining strength few weeks ago after a government intervention.

Mrs. Baidoo however warned that she believed the depreciation is only “temporal” but expected the stabilization to last till the end of the year.

“I believe what they are doing is temporal and hopefully it can sustain us till the end of the year. Then the more medium and long term measures can be put in place,” she stated.

Vim Talk is aired every Saturday, 8:30pm on Adom TV.

No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.
