In a video circulating online, the woman praised Afia’s hard work and loyalty, explaining that she had never encountered such a faithful worker.
According to her, Afia would often open the shop earlier than the official time, showing remarkable commitment and responsibility.
The woman, who often leaves the shop in Afia’s care due to her other businesses, expressed how impressed and grateful she is to have employed someone like Afia.
The gesture came as Afia prepared to leave work to further her education a moment her madam described as bittersweet.
“She is one girl I have never regretted employing. It’s painful to realise she’s leaving,” the woman said emotionally.
She also encouraged Afia to reach out anytime she needed help while in school.
“Afia, I’m always available for you. Call me when you need something. God bless you for working this hard.”
Afia, visibly touched, broke into tears after receiving the surprise gift.
“Don’t cry; I love you so much, Afia,” her madam consoled her.

This moved the wage from GH¢19.97 to GH¢21.77. The new rate takes effect from January 1 to December 31, 2026.
The agreement, signed on November 9, 2025, between the government, represented by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and the Ministry of Finance (MoF), and Organised Labour, follows successful negotiations aimed at ensuring stability and fairness in the public sector.
Finance Minister Dr Ato Forson commended Organised Labour for their cooperation and patriotic posture, saying the increment aligns with efforts to consolidate Ghana’s economic recovery.
“The country has gone through difficult times with high inflation and interest rates, but today both indicators have declined. The government is working to further reduce inflation from the current 8 per cent to ease the burden on Ghanaians,” he said.
Dr Forson reaffirmed the government’s commitment to sustaining economic stability and improving conditions of service for workers, adding that the Ministry of Finance and the FWSC will ensure the full implementation of all approved provisions.
Minister for Employment and Labour Relations, Dr Rashid Pelpuo, praised both parties for the constructive dialogue that led to the agreement, describing it as a reflection of the government’s dedication to labour harmony and economic resilience.
