President Akufo-Addo Set to Announce Ministerial Reshuffle
According to report, there is an impending ministerial reshuffle, scheduled to be disclosed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Following a meeting convened on Friday, February 9, at the Jubilee House, conclusive decisions were reached on the list of names for the reshuffle.
After enduring months of public pressure for changes in ministerial appointments, the President is now ready to enact significant adjustments.

This move comes in the wake of the resignation of former Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyerematen, and Food and Agriculture Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, who stepped down to concentrate on their political campaigns.
Insiders familiar with the matter suggest that the forthcoming reshuffle will be extensive. It was strategically delayed to synchronize with the conclusion of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential and parliamentary primaries.
These primaries, held over the weekend, aimed to shield the affected ministers from potential emotional strain resulting from defeat while transitioning to new responsibilities.
Initially slated for December, the reshuffle was postponed to February post the conclusion of the ruling party’s internal elections. This decision aimed to preempt any unsuccessful candidates from attributing their loss to the President.
As the President finalizes his plan for the massive reshuffle, Ghanaians eagerly await the announcement of these alterations to the government. The changes are expected to bring new perspectives, fresh expertise, and increased efficiency to the various ministries involved.
President Akufo-Addo’s commitment to public demand and his consideration for his ministers’ electioneering efforts underscore his dedication to good governance and responsive leadership.
With the looming reshuffle on the horizon, it remains to be seen how these changes will affect the government’s performance moving forward.
However, Ghanaians can rest be assured that President Akufo-Addo’s decisions stem from a sincere desire to continually improve and strengthen his administration.
