Religious tolerance essential for progress – Justice Yaw Oppong

Justice Barima Yaw Kodie Oppong, Director of the Ghana School of Law (GSL) and Justice of the Court of Appeal, has called for peaceful coexistence among people of all religious backgrounds.

Emphasizing the importance of harmony, he highlighted the shared belief in a single Creator and the common values that unite humanity.

Justice Oppong made these remarks at the grand Iftar organized by the Ghana School of Law Muslim Students Association in Accra on Friday, March 28. The event, themed “Reflections on the Ideals of Ramadan: Lessons for a Nation in Search of Development,” underscored the significance of unity and mutual respect in national progress.

“Let’s live in peace with one another. At the end of the day, we have only one God. At the end of the day, we are all accountable to one God, the same God,” Justice Oppong stated, urging individuals to focus on their commonalities rather than differences.

He called for the adoption of values and principles from various religions to guide and shape lives, advocating for tolerance, mutual respect, and collaboration in building a more peaceful society.
