Nana Akufo-Addo, it seems, is putting together one of the "most excellent" cabinets in Ghana's political history, leadership expert Prof Stephen Adei has said.
The former rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) said on Tuesday, 3 January that the president-elect, as an individual, can make a difference in Ghana's leadership annals through his character and competence but will also need the support of a quality team, which, in Prof Adei's view, Mr Akufo-Addo seems to be putting together.
"…The one person, in this case Nana Akufo-Addo makes a difference but also the team he puts in place – and it seems he is on his way to put in place one of the most excellent cabinets Ghana has ever had from the little names which have been dropped here and there. We await the full list," he told Nhyira Addo on Joy FM's Super Morning Show on Tuesday.
For instance, Prof Boateng said: "When I heard yesterday the mentioning of the name of Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng as the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, this morning my wife and I, in our devotion, said: 'Thank God for his appointment.' …I'm not going to get anything from Kwabena but I know Kwabena is not going there to take bribe."
Apart from the renowned heart surgeon, Nana Akufo-Addo, who will be sworn in on 7 January, has hinted at appointing Mr Alan Kyerematen, his contender during the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primary, as his Minister of Trade and Industry; Kwadaso MP Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto for the Ministry of Food and Agriculture; and Mr Isaac Asiamah for the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
Some sources also say former MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon Frema Opare has been tipped by Mr Akufo-Addo to become the first female Chief of Staff in the country’s history.

Fuuuuulllish attention seeker. What was your performance at GBC as the Director General During Kromfour Kufour's time? You also nearly collapsed GIMPA so what is your achievement? The intolerant at peacefmonline will soon delete my message as usual but I have spoken my mind the way it should be.
Prof Adei is a failure. someone who was kick out from GIMPA and how on earth is he achiever. someone who destroy GIMPA. now see GIMPA how it is flourishing under the NDC and this man praising nana addo for excellent choice of his ministers. my goodness, are these the so call competent men and women he nana addo and bawumia have been saying. God have mercy. indeed they are competent just a matter of time. were they not the same ministers under kuffour for 8 years and what did we see. we thought they were going to bring people who were educated in space with high moral character. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.but with this. God have mercy just a matter of time
Koliko, you see no matter your reason for your 'hatred' for Prof Addae,he cannot be '***barred word***' as you are saying. Prof is an 'achiever'; check his record at GIMPA, and wherever he served. My prayer for you is that you will achieve even 8% of Prof ADDAE'S achievements in all your lifetime. Then you will know who really qualifies for the discription you are ascribing to him.
The new leadership seems to be taking lessons from what cause the bad performance of NDC (bad appointments), NANA ADDO have really thought into all his appointees, so far so good.
We hope so, I would very much want to see the performance of Osei Akoto (Agric) and Asiamah (sports) they were always complaining.
Ffoolish old man seeking attention.
Yes he had dreams to be president ....YEARS AGO. Today he has won by a land slide victory. After watching other presidents in the country try their hands at this tough job, he has a good idea of what it takes. Like a musician who practices day and night for a concert when the time comes delivery is ALMOST assured. Yes Nana Addo has truly prepared for this job. He teaches me one thing - IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO CHASE YOUR DREAM.
