The Greater Accra Regional Director of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Hajia Katumi Atta Natogmah, has been named the Best Regional Director for the 2024–2025 academic year. The honour was conferred by President John Dramani Mahama in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the growth and development of education in the country.
This marks the second time Hajia Katumi has received a presidential accolade for her service. She was previously awarded under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for her exemplary leadership within the GES.
Hajia Katumi, a native of Nanung in the Northern Region, has served in multiple capacities across the education sector — from the Savannah Region to the Northern Region, and now Greater Accra — earning widespread respect for her commitment and professionalism.
Her latest recognition has been met with joy in her hometown of Nanung, where residents praised her continued efforts to elevate the region’s name on the national stage.
“Congratulations, Hajia Katumi. We, the good people of Nanung, are proud of the award. We pray for you to make Nanung proud,” a statement from community members read.
Her career continues to be seen as a symbol of pride and inspiration, especially for women in leadership and education across Ghana.
