Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has described the passing of former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings as a moment of deep national reflection, urging Ghanaians to learn from her strength, legacy, and dignity even in times of disagreement.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists on Friday, October 24, after visiting the family to extend his condolences, Mr. Iddrisu said the news of her death was \u201cincredibly shocking\u201d. <\/p>\n

He noted that her life should be remembered not only for her political role but for her unwavering commitment to empowerment, especially for women.<\/p>\n

\u201cNana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings was a stalwart and a founding member of the National Democratic Congress,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe played her part and contributed immensely in the very formative and struggling years of the NDC. I recall coming here with the late Justice Annan, supported by President Rawlings, and many of us who later formed the NDC Youth Forum. Konadu used her own resources to finance the activities of the party in those difficult early years.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the party\u2019s eventual rise to produce two presidents, the late John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama, forms \u201cpart of her legacy and sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Touching on her lifelong advocacy, the Minister recalled her impact on women\u2019s development across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, women\u2019s empowerment was her hallmark. She walked it, she lived it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI still recall some years back,\u00a0when she came to Tamale in the Northern Region\u00a0to commission a bread-baking facility to support women and mothers then in that region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Education Minister said Nana Konadu\u2019s passing should inspire a moment of humility and introspection for the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer departure should remind us that we should be measured, even in anger,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings passed away on Thursday, October 23, 2025. She is being remembered nationwide for her leadership, her courage, and her enduring influence on Ghana\u2019s political and social development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
