The National Union of Tricycle Operators Ghana (NUTOG) has extended its heartfelt condolences to the entire nation and the family of the late Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former First Lady of the Republic of Ghana, describing her passing as a monumental loss to the country.
In a statement signed by Emmanuel Kwao Arku, National Public Relations Officer (PRO) of NUTOG, the Union expressed deep sorrow over her death, noting that Madam Agyeman-Rawlings dedicated her life to promoting social justice, women’s empowerment, and the welfare of children across Ghana.
Mr. Arku said the late former First Lady was always championing the development of women and children through her numerous initiatives, particularly the 31st December Women’s Movement, which created opportunities for women’s participation in social and economic life.
He further described her as a woman of grace, humility, and compassion whose charming smile, non-partisan attitude, and unifying spirit earned her admiration from all walks of life. “She was a true mother to the nation and a symbol of unity who believed in peace and progress,” he stated.
The National PRO emphasized that Madam Agyeman-Rawlings’ legacy should inspire Ghanaians to embrace the values of service, leadership, and commitment to humanity. He said her contribution to national development, especially in promoting the welfare of women, would remain indelible in Ghana’s history.
Beyond the condolence message, Mr. Arku used the occasion to advise members of NUTOG and all tricycle operators nationwide to strictly adhere to road safety and ethical conduct. He urged them to always appear decent, disciplined, and professional in their work since they play a vital role in the nation’s transport system.
He also encouraged members to cultivate habits that reflect the care and goodwill the President has shown toward tricycle operators, stressing that maintaining discipline, respect, and order will help strengthen the trust between operators, the public, and government.
According to him, by living responsibly and conducting themselves professionally, NUTOG members will “shame the naysayers” who continue to look down on their work and prove that tricycle operators are responsible partners in Ghana’s development.
The Union concluded its statement by praying for strength and comfort for the Rawlings family and the entire nation during this difficult time, reaffirming its commitment to promoting unity, safety, and responsible operations among all tricycle operators across Ghana.
