US-based Ghanaian gospel star Dr Ama Kutin set to host ‘Glory 2025’ concert in Accra

US-based Ghanaian gospel musician and Seven7 Africa signee, Dr Ama Kutin, following the acclaimed success of her debut ‘Journey Album,’ is set to host an unforgettable night of worship and praise at the highly anticipated ‘Glory 2025’ concert.

The event, which is expected to be Holy Spirit-filled and entertaining, is slated for Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 5:00 PM at the Wesley Towers Ridge in Accra.

Glory 2025 is designed to create an ultimate atmosphere for profound worship, heartfelt praise, and a powerful connection with God.

This power-packed programme will feature a stellar lineup of Ghana’s top gospel talents, including Daughters of Glorious Jesus, The Choir GH from Kumasi, Julia, and Alexandrah.

A major international highlight of the evening will be a special collaborative performance between Dr Ama Kutin and Chisha Kasanda, a dynamic and celebrated gospel singer from Zambia.

This partnership promises to bridge cultures and unite voices in a powerful testament to global faith.

Speaking ahead of the event, Dr Ama Kutin shared her vision: “Glory Concert is not just about music; it’s about creating an atmosphere where hearts are turned toward God in gratitude and surrender.

“This year, we are inviting everyone to come and experience God’s glory freshly.”

The concert is the latest milestone in Dr Kutin’s remarkable journey in gospel music.

Her debut album, ‘The Journey,’ released in February 2023, was launched with a groundbreaking virtual and in-person listening session that made a significant impact in the diaspora gospel community.

The album’s success, including hit singles like “Eye Adom” (By His Grace), earned her two prestigious nominations at the Ghana Music Awards USA for New Artist of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year.

Organised by Seven7 Africa, Glory 2025 is expected to draw music lovers, worshippers, and faith communities from across the city and beyond for an evening of joyous glory and divine encounter.

CAF Champions League: GoldStars fall to JS Kabylie in Accra

CAF Champions League: GoldStars fall to JS Kabylie in Accra

JS Kabylie picked a huge 2-0 first leg advantage against Ghana’s Bibiani GoldStars in the first preliminary round CAF Champions League clash at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.

The Ghana champions now have it all to do a week later in Algeria if they are to progress to the second preliminary round.

The Algerian side started the game on the front foot with their experience and determination coming to the fore.

Just eight minutes in, Aymen Mahious put the visitors in the lead. Fortunately for GoldStars, it was ruled out for offside.

Moments later, Emmanuel Kobi produced an impressive point-blank save to deny the 14-time Algerian champions from taking the lead.

But Kobi could not come to the rescue of his team when Medhi Merghem connected brilliantly to a cross from the right to hand JS Kabylie the lead in the 21st minute.

Back in the second half, the hosts stepped up their game and got chance after chance but could simply not convert any.

GoldStars were punished again for some schoolboy defending from a corner situation when no one stepped up before Babacar Sarr tapped in, in the 70th minute to double JS Kabylie’s lead.

The game ended 2-0 in favour of JS Kabylie with the Algerian side going back home with a first leg advantage, with the reverse fixture scheduled for a week later.

The winner of the first preliminary round tie will face either East End Lions of Sierra Leone or US Monastir of Tunisia in the second preliminary round.

Private sector urged to support Ghana’s agricultural growth at Agritech West Africa 2025

Private sector urged to support Ghana’s agricultural growth at Agritech West Africa 2025

The Government of Ghana is urging increased private sector involvement in agricultural development efforts, particularly in support of national policies such as the Feed Ghana programme.

The call was made during the opening of the 4th edition of the Agritech West Africa exhibition, held in Accra, as part of a broader push to accelerate growth and sustainability in the country’s agriculture sector.

The event brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and exhibitors from around the world, with participating countries including India, Turkey, Nigeria, Ghana, China, Spain, the UK, Italy, and France.

The exhibition showcased a diverse array of products and solutions, ranging from agrochemicals and modern agricultural technologies to irrigation systems, biofeeds, food processing and packaging innovations, and value-added food and beverage products.

Organized as a hub for agricultural innovation and trade, Agritech West Africa 2025 highlighted the importance of cross-border collaboration and private investment in driving the sector forward. It also served as a platform for stakeholders to explore opportunities to enhance food production, adopt sustainable practices, and expand agribusiness operations across the region.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Director in charge of Crops Services at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture Harry Bleppony emphasized that private sector participation is critical to the success of initiatives aimed at improving food security, boosting productivity, and reducing the country’s reliance on food imports.

“The Ministry of Food and Agriculture is spearheading government’s Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda through its flagship Feed Ghana Programme. The programme has the objective of ensuring national food security, promotion of value addition, increasing raw material supply to agro-processing industries and expanding agricultural exports. This will require public private and public-private investments”, he said.

Project Director of Agritech West Africa at Synergice Events, Thomas James said the exhibition provides an avenue for players in the industry to find ways to enhance its growth.

“The event is very much in line with the development goals of the Ghana government’s commitment to value-added agriculture to the national economy and targeted food security”, he mentioned.

The presence and commitment of international partners, such as India, further underscored the strategic importance of global partnerships in supporting Ghana’s agricultural tr
