Biakoye NCCE Engages Dressmakers and Beauticians on Upholding Ghana’s Constitution in the Digital Age

As part of activities marking the 2026 Constitution Week Celebration, the Biakoye District Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) engaged dressmakers and beauticians at Nkonya Ahenkro on Tuesday, 2nd June 2026.

The engagement took place at two fashion shops and one hairdressing shop. It aimed to raise awareness among the professionals on their role in promoting constitutional values and responsible digital conduct within their workplaces, client interactions, and communities.

Speaking during the session, Mr. Ernest Mensah, a Civic Education Officer, explained that the 1992 Constitution remains relevant in both physical and digital spaces. He noted that citizens, including dressmakers and beauticians, have a duty to protect Ghana’s constitutional democracy through responsible conduct online and offline.

Mr. Mensah educated the participants on responsible digital behaviour, respect for the rights of others, protection of personal information, and the dangers of misinformation, online fraud and abusive communication. He emphasized that every online action has the potential to influence public opinion, social stability and national development.

Madam Lucy Darko, a dressmaker and owner of God is Love Fashion Shop, also shared her views on digital conduct and misinformation. She cautioned apprentices against falling victim to online crimes and urged them to show politeness, honesty, and integrity in their online interactions and transactions.

Mr. Mensah concluded by urging dressmakers and beauticians to serve as promoters of civic virtues and constitutional principles in their communities, especially as they interact daily with many clients and young apprentices.
