On July 30, 2026, the Ghanaian government presented support packages to the children of the eight state officials who died in the August 6, 2025 helicopter crash. Each child received a GH¢1 million trust fund and a GH¢3 million health insurance coverage, according to official statements.
The packages were handed over at a ceremony in Accra, attended by government representatives and family members. The support aims to secure the welfare and future of the affected children, covering education, healthcare, and other needs.
The helicopter crash occurred on August 6, 2025, killing all eight officials on board. The government has since conducted investigations and implemented measures to support the families.
This initiative has been praised by some as a compassionate response, though others have called for more transparency regarding the crash investigation and long-term support for all dependents.
