The family of Mrs. Mawuena Adzo Trebarh, a respected business executive and communications specialist who sadly passed away on Thursday, April 11, is getting ready to release a statement regarding her sudden death.
Distraught relatives gathered at the family’s home in Haatso, Accra, on Friday, indicating that they are currently organizing a formal announcement. Mrs. Trebarh passed away after a brief illness.
Mawuena, recognized for her remarkable contributions, was the sister of the late Ghanaian broadcaster, Komla Dumor, celebrated for his work at the BBC and Multimedia Group, and Dr. Korshie Dumor, a medical practitioner based in the United States.
She was the eldest of three children born to sociologist and former Electoral Commission member, Prof. Ernest Dumor, and the late Mrs. Cecilia Dumor.
Her passing, just a day before her 52nd birthday, has left a void in the hearts of many who admired her achievements.
Notably, Mawuena made history as the first female CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) and held prominent positions at Newmont Ghana and MTN (Scancom), serving as Corporate Services Executive.
Amidst the difficulties of the Covid-19 pandemic, she was appointed as the spokesperson for a team of specialists by the National Democratic Congress, entrusted with advising and supporting government initiatives.
Mawuena is survived by her husband, Divine Trebarh of the Ghana Air Force, and her daughter, Katherine Joy Trebarh. Her legacy of professionalism, leadership, and dedication will serve as an enduring source of inspiration for many in the future.
