In 1836, arriet Wrigly, the wife of a Methodist pastor, established Wesley Girls' Senior High School (Wey Gey Hey) in Cape Coast, Central Region of the Gold Coast (now Ghana). The institution is named after John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church.

It is one of the country's oldest second-cycle schools and is now regarded as one of the best and most prominent female institutions by both the Ghana Education Service and the general public.

The institution has prepared, instructed, and trained many students over the years to become high-ranking officials in a number of professional areas, both locally and internationally.

It is incredible how much prestige and trust people invest in the school. In all honesty, almost every parent or guardian wishes their child to be trained in such a powerful educational setting.

These young women are heavily influenced by their surroundings in terms of self-esteem and assertiveness, and they continually improve the country.

Among the notable women the school has produced thus far are: Julia Osei Tutu, wife of Asantehene, Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II; Georgina Theodora Wood, Ghana's first female chief justice; Florence Dolphyne, the first female professor and pro-vice chancellor of the University of Ghana, Legon; Brigitte Dzogbenuku, the CPP's vice-presidential candidate; Lovelace Johnson, the former Chief Justice of Ghana's Apex Court; Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, Univ



Others include Ghana's 13th Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo; Gertrude Torkornoo, a current Supreme Court judge; Sophia Ophelia Adjeibea Adinyira, a former Apex Court judge; and Melody Millicent Danquah, Africa's first female pilot.



The focus of this discussion, however, is a strong, gorgeous, fearless, and observant woman who served as The Gambia's first female Chief Justice from 2013 to 2014.

This amazing woman has a lot to teach us; let's work together to discover her many sides.

She finished her secondary education at the prestigious Wesley Girls' Senior High School in Cape Coast, Ghana, before pursuing a bachelor's degree at the University of Ghana, Legon.

Mabel Maame Agyemang was admitted to the Ghana Bar in 1987 after graduating from the Ghana School of Law in Makola with a Qualifying Certificate.

Mabel served as Vice-President of the Ghana Association of Magistrates and Judges from 1996 to 2000.

Previously, she served as a judge in several major regional cities in Ghana, including Cape Coast, Tema, Accra, Koforidua, and Kumasi.

She then advanced to the High Court in 2002, and in 2004, she was appointed as an Expert Judge at the Commonwealth Secretariat.

Governor Dakin shared a touching letter from the Gambia's Bar Association regarding her service to the country until her removal from office in 2014, when she was appointed Chief Justice of Turks and Caicos Islands in February 2020:

"Justice Agyemang wielded significant power over the judiciary while serving as Chief Justice, and she enjoyed the support of the judges, the Bar Association, and the judicial staff. She fostered a culture of professionalism and discipline in the judiciary.

Judicial officers' attitudes on their employment changed significantly, becoming more efficient and professional.

Everyone was supposed to arrive on time, and she set the standard. She made changes to ensure litigants' access to justice and to eliminate unnecessary delays in the administration of justice. To ensure speedy case settlement, she initiated the process of modifying the Rules of Court.

Among other things, she introduced judges to ICT tools for case law research, indicating her dedication to innovation and reform.

Despite her remarkable and effective tenure, the President improperly terminated her services, much to the disgust of the entire legal profession. The then-autocratic president was making every effort to keep the court under control at the time.

Justice Mabel Agyemang left an indelible mark on our legal system, hence her passing was grieved deeply.

She has two lovely children and is married to Mr. Agyemang.
