Rebecca Akufo-Addo's Condolences Message To Constance Ama Emefa Edjeani-Afenu's Family On Her Death.

When she was 18 years old, Brigadier General Constance Ama Emefa Edjeani-Afenu joined the Ghanaian Armed Forces. On April 25, 1980, she was commissioned into the Ghana Armed Forces. She was a member of the Junior Division of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College in the early 1990s.

She was assigned to the Permanent Mission in New York as the Deputy Military Adviser. It was also the first time a woman had served in that capacity. Wesley Girls' Senior High School was her alma mater.

She was promoted to Brigadier General on March 7, 2016, the highest level ever held by a woman in the Armed Forces. In 2019, the United Nations named her as the Deputy Force Commander in MINURSO.




The First Lady of the Republic of Ghana, Her Excellency Rebecca Akufo-Addo has sent a warm-hearted message to the family upon hearing her demise. This is what she wrote on Facebook:

"I have received the sad news of the passing of Brigadier General Constance Ama Emefa Edjeanu-Afenu.

She was the first woman to be promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, which is the highest position ever occupied by a female in the Armed Forces. The United Nations also appointed her as Deputy Force Commander in MINURSO in 2019.
Hers was a life of resilience and breaking barriers. She was a shining example of what women can do.
As an icon for women, she has received laurels from all over, including the
“First Lady's Award “on International Women's Day in 2019.
May your soul rest in peace Brigadier General and my deepest condolences to everyone whose life was touched by this great woman".

He highlighted that many young people are finding it increasingly difficult to secure financial stability, attributing this struggle to what he describes as the party's frugal and ineffective governance. According to Afrane, the government's track record is marred by numerous scandals and pervasive corruption, which he claims undermines the country's economic potential and disproportionately affects the younger generation.
