Sabah Zita Benson, Ghana’s new High Commissioner to the United Kingdom has officially arrived in London to assume her diplomatic duties.
Mrs. Benson was warmly received by officials of the Ghana High Commission upon her arrival. She exchanged pleasantries with staff and assured them of her commitment to strengthening Ghana–UK relations while advancing the interests of Ghanaians living in the diaspora.
Her arrival follows her swearing-in on September 4, 2025, at the Jubilee House in Accra, where she was formally inducted alongside 17 other envoys appointed by President John Dramani Mahama.
As High Commissioner, Mrs. Benson is expected to lead Ghana’s diplomatic mission in the UK, focusing on deepening bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, education, and culture. She will also play a key role in mobilizing support for government initiatives and engaging with the Ghanaian community across the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
Her appointment adds to a distinguished career in public service and diplomacy, and she now takes up one of Ghana’s most strategic foreign postings at a time when the government is working to expand international partnerships.
She is the first female to be appointed as Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
