Four new ministers critical to my success – Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has justified his appointment of four more Ministers of State describing them as critical to the success of his government.

transformational agenda in that sector.

The four new ministers include Professor Kwasi Yankah, Minister of State in-charge of Tertiary Education, Minister of State in-charge of Agriculture Dr. Jule Nura, Minister of State responsible for Procurement, Adwoa Safo and Brian Acheanpong also a Minister of State.
