After creating political history, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, Ghana's first female vice president, has been the subject of much discussion regarding her family, particularly her daughters, all of whom hold doctorates.

At the University of Cape Coast (UCC), where she was the first female vice-chancellor and the first female VC in Ghana, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang created history alongside her husband, an English professor.
