PLease SAVE me my feLLow Ghanaians, i'm a 24 years oLd Ghanaian Lady that was scammed by some Nigerians, i'm currentLy stranded in Nigeria, it aLL started few months ago when i got a WhatsApp message that a traveL agency in Lagos Nigeria is recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for job openings in Canada, i soLd my business and everything i had and kept sending them money for the traveL to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Lagos that my visa is ready, when i got to Lagos they took the remaining money i had on me and took my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earLier from Ghana, i was Left stranded, i sLept on the streets for few days before i got a restaurant that accepted me to be working for them so i can be eating and have a pLace to sLeep, they don't pay me, what i gain is just the free food and sLeeping in the restaurant, pLease i need heLp of around 100,000 naira which is around 800 cedis so i can transport myseLf back to Ghana, my transport back to Ghana is expensive because i'm not with my passport, the transport companies here charge more for passengers traveLing without passport, i promise to pay back the money once i'm back to Ghana and start working, i can aLso work for anyone that heLps me with the money so the 800 GHS can be deducted from my saLary, i know it might be hard to get a singLe person that can heLp me with 800 GHS so i wiLL appreciate any amount sent to me and be gratefuL, even if i receive 50 GHS or Less i can be saving up untiL i compLete the money to 800 GHS.i can be reached on my private emaiL via sanw47354@g m a i l.com as i don't have a phone now, there's a cyber cafe beside the restaurant i work i go to whenever i'm free from work to check my maiLs and seek for heLp on Ghanaweb.

John Dramani Mahama, the current President of Ghana, has recently implemented a policy to stop the practice of granting contract extensions to retired public service employees. This directive, effective immediately, means that such requests will no longer be considered.
Key Details of the Policy:
Immediate Suspension: The directive, issued in April 2025 by the Office of the President, announced an immediate halt to post-retirement contract appointments for retired public service staff.
Reasoning: The move is intended to create opportunities for younger generations to enter the public service, addressing long-standing concerns that the re-engagement of retired individuals on contract was blocking new talent.
Scope: The policy applies broadly across the public service, with the goal of opening up many job opportunities.
Specific Cases: Despite the general policy, there has been a recent, high-profile exception: President Mahama approved a two-year contract extension for the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, in November 2025, based on recommendations from the Police Council who cited the need for consistent leadership during ongoing reforms.
In summary, Mahama's general policy as President is to stop extending public service contracts to retirees, although the case of the IGP indicates that exceptions can be made in critical circumstances.

Power that overlooks competence is surely a dangerous one and I can confidently say that the current IGP has not done a third of what Dampare did.

The verb here for the President to defend his action is 'suspending' made public, so an honest President would make public his or her decision to lift the suspension before this unwelcome action.

Moving forward, I strongly believe that for the sake of fairness this extension nonsense that is becoming a culture must stop.

This IGP was 60 over 6 years ago!!!!
