A former Member of Parliament, Akosua Frema Osei Opare, has been named Ghana’s next Chief of Staff, sources close to the President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, have revealed. Abu Jinapor has been chosen as the deputy Chief of Staff, the sources told 3News Monday.
Mrs. Osei Opare who is a former lecturer and Head of the Department of Home Science at the University of Ghana and served under President John Kufuor’s government becomes the first woman to occupy the Chief of Staff office in Ghana. According to the source, former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Peter Mac Manu, has also been pencilled by the president-elect as the Board Chairman of Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GHAPOHA). These nominations come a day after the President-elect announced cardiothoracic surgeon, Professor Kwabena Frimpong Boateng as the Minister designate for Science and Technology at the Apostle Kojo Sarfo Technology Fair.
Nana Akufo-Addo who takes office from John Mahama on January 7 had earlier announced Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto as the minister designate for Agriculture. Already, he has confirmed Alan John Kyerematen as the Minister designate for Trade and Industry.

Abu's choice is excellent. The guy is humble, learned, as well as capable of becoming a solid asset for the party and Ghana.

Ghapoha still recruiting people. millitary men are all resigning to join Ghapoha security. incoming Board Chairman wake up
@Jinapors they are the smartest political brothers in Ghana. One goes one comes. They deserve them because of their loyalty and more especially they are hard working.
RE,Oh no. These hardline NDC supporters who are praying for Nana Addo to fail will get heart attack ooo.You will be bitter for 8 long yrs and it will surely affect your health.I pity these people suffering with bitterness for more than 8yrs.Babies with sharp teeth will have their teeths rotten by the time NDC comes back
relax! the new Chief of Staff as we hear would be responsible for staff at the presidency and would not cover ministers of state and their deputies. this will not be as we saw previously with the role of CoS
Abu jinapor I am happy for you! I am sure you are one of those NPP is mentoring to become a president after Bawumia. It will happen! In the meantime keep leaning from the gurus.
I'm ardent npp supporter, but doubt this information.Both Frema opare and Abu qualify for positions but for chief of staff it's no no no no no. I would support Mr. Agyarko the party's brilliant and elloquent policy advisor to take the chief of staff position.However if it's coming from nana addo truly truly then I'm for it cos I trust the man to the letter Z
such an ***barred word*** comment. Abu is a lawyer so what is your problem? he has also been very loyal to nana Addo even though his big brother was a deputy minister in ndc and he could have defected easily. this guy showed great deal of trust and loyalty. Ghanaians can never be circumspect and decipher issues objectively.
