Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo's Ode to Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings
Sports journalist Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo shares a personal reflection on how a policy intervention changed his life and led him to journalism.
Growing up in Vamboi, a small farming village in Ghana's Upper West Region, traditional expectations for boys were to labor on family farms. However, the 31st December Women's Movement (DWM) built the village's first school in 1991, altering the course of his life.
Fentuo was one of the first pupils enrolled in the DWM Day Nursery, a decision made by his father despite social and economic pressure. His first encounter with formal education led to an unforgettable moment: reciting a rhyme before then-First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings during the school's commissioning ceremony.
That experience sparked his lifelong fascination with the English language and storytelling.
This experience set him on the path to journalism, showcasing the impact of policy interventions on individual lives.
