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 work on family farms.
However, the 31st December Women's Movement (DWM) built the village's first school in 1991, and Fentuo became one of the first pupils enrolled in the DWM Day Nursery.
His first encounter with formal education led to an unforgettable moment - reciting a rhyme before the then-First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, during the school's commissioning ceremony.
This experience sparked his lifelong fascination with the English language and storytelling.
