Accra, Oct. 24, GNA – The National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA) has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former First Lady of the Republic of Ghana.
She was 76.
A statement issued to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Friday described the late Mrs Agyeman- Rawlings as a “distinguished stateswoman and an iconic figure in Ghana’s political and development history.”
The Authority highlighted her lifelong commitment to women’s empowerment, particularly through her leadership in the 31st December Women’s Movement, which championed initiatives that improved the welfare, education, and economic opportunities of women and children across the country.
“Her work and contributions to Ghana’s development remain an indelible part of the country’s history,” the statement said.
The NPRA extended its condolences to her children, the Rawlings family, the Government, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the National Democratic Congress, the National Democratic Party, and the people of Ghana.
“The Authority stands in solidarity with the nation as we celebrate the remarkable life and enduring legacy of an extraordinary Ghanaian woman,” it added.
