Akuffo-Addo Shakes Up Cabinet with Ministerial Reshuffle
In a highly anticipated move, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo is set to release the long-awaited ministerial reshuffle list, according to sources close to The Metro Lens newspaper. This reshuffle is expected to bring about significant changes within the government, with several ministers being replaced by fresh faces.
One of the key changes in the reshuffle is the appointment of Fati Abubakar, who will take over from Kojo Oppong Nkrumah at the information ministry. Abubakar, known for her exceptional communication skills, is expected to bring a new perspective to the ministry and ensure effective dissemination of information from the government to the public. Meanwhile, Oppong Nkrumah will move to the works and housing ministry, leveraging his expertise and experience in this crucial sector.
Another significant change is the appointment of Asenso Boakye, who will be taking over from Kwasi Amoako Atta at the Roads Ministry. Boakye’s background in infrastructure development and his proven track record in delivering results are expected to bring a fresh perspective to the ministry and drive progress in road construction and maintenance.
In a bid to prioritize sanitation issues, Lydia Seyram Alhassan will be taking over the Sanitation Ministry. Alhassan, known for her dedication to environmental management, is expected to tackle the pressing challenges of waste management and improve overall cleanliness in the country. Her appointment reflects the government’s commitment to addressing environmental concerns and ensuring a healthier living environment for all citizens.
The health sector will also see a new leader, as Dr Oko Boye is set to head the Ministry of Health. With his medical background and experience in public health, Boye is expected to bring innovative solutions to the healthcare system and address the pressing issues facing the sector. His appointment comes at a crucial time when the nation is grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for effective healthcare delivery is paramount.
Furthermore, Martin Agyei Mensah Korsah will take over from Dan Kwaku Botwe at the Local Government Ministry. Korsah’s experience in local governance and his commitment to empowering local authorities are expected to bring about effective decentralization and improve the delivery of services at the grassroots level.
While the reshuffle list is subject to any last-minute changes, the President’s decision to release it is seen as a significant step towards rejuvenating the government and ensuring effective governance for the benefit of the nation. These new appointments are expected to inject fresh ideas, expertise, and energy into key ministries, driving progress and delivering on the government’s promises to the Ghanaian people.
