Read Time: 2 minutes

Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang issued a soulful call to action, urging Ghanaians to harness their collective grief and channel it into a powerful force for unity, introspection, and national progress.

Speaking at the Evening of Reflection at the State House forecourt for a somber memorial service, Professor Opoku-Agyemang delivered a heartfelt tribute to the eight distinguished individuals who lost their lives in the tragic incident.

With eloquence and empathy, she acknowledged the profound sense of loss that permeates the country, transcending familial and professional boundaries.

“This is not a time for perfect words nor a time for the right thoughts, because there are none,” she remarked, paying homage to the departed individuals who had dedicated their lives to serving their nation and humanity with inflexible commitment.

Ultimately, as she reflected on cherished memories of her interactions with the late colleagues, Professor Opoku-Agyemang emphasized the imperative of unity and attention to detail in the aftermath of the crash.

She cautioned against the perils of partisan point-scoring, instead advocating for a collective focus on drawing valuable lessons from the tragedy.

“It is a time for wishing our colleagues, who have perished in the line of duty, peaceful rest. It is a time for praying for comfort for their families and for everyone,” she said, her words imbued with compassion and gravitas.

With a keen sense of purpose, Professor Opoku-Agyemang challenged Ghanaians to renew their pledge to work towards advancing the country’s interests, just as the departed individuals had endeavored to do.

She questioned the wisdom of perpetuating “unhelpful barriers we consciously continue to build and maintain,” underscoring the need for unity and collective resolve in the face of national crises.

Now that the country mourns the loss of these remarkable individuals, including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Vice President’s words serve as a soulful reminder of the importance of coming together in times of adversity. The burial rites for the two Muslim victims will take place today, followed by an inter-denominational state funeral on Friday, August 15, 2025, at the Black Star Square, providing a fitting tribute to their memory and legacy.
