As President Akufo Addo believes in continuity and swift action, he wasted no time in appointing a successor to fill the vacant position.<\/p>\n<p>Subject to parliamentary approval, President Akufo Addo has nominated Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo, the Member of Parliament for Achiase, as the Deputy Minister-designate for Trade and Industry.<br \/>The President\u2019s decision reflects his confidence in Mr Marfo\u2019s capabilities and his commitment to streamlining Ghana\u2019s trade and industry sector.<\/p>\n<p>President Akufo Addo expressed hope that Parliament, in its bipartisan spirit, would expedite the approval process for his nominee. By joining the government promptly, Mr Marfo would play a crucial role in assisting the President in achieving his goals during his second term in office.<\/p>\n<p>The Office of the President reiterated this information through Eugene Arhin, the Director of Communications in a statement issued.<br \/>The reassignment and appointment of these key personnel underscore the government\u2019s commitment to ensuring effective governance and the seamless continuation of essential policies and programs.<\/p>\n<p>This latest move demonstrates President Akufo-Addo\u2019s dedication to assembling a capable and efficient team that will work diligently to advance Ghana\u2019s socio-economic development agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Vincent Kubi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Amoah \u00a0 In a fresh development, the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has made key adjustments to his government\u2019s lineup.
