Ghana has been plunged into mourning following the sudden death of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, the nation’s longest-serving First Lady and a pioneering advocate for women’s rights. She passed away early this morning at Ridge Hospital in Accra after a brief illness, at the age of 76. The news was officially confirmed by the Ghanaian government, which described her passing as a “profound sorrow” and a great loss to the nation.
