\n

Nana Akufo-Addo, the President of Ghana, is a well-known figure in both political and social spheres. <\/p>\n

Behind his leadership, however, is a supportive family, including his five daughters. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These children have grown up in the public eye and have taken on roles in various professional fields. <\/p>\n

Here’s a look at each of them and their achievements.<\/p>\n

Gyankroma Funmi Akufo-Addo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ufeff<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The eldest daughter of President Akufo-Addo, Gyankroma was born in the 1980s. She has a Nigerian heritage from her mother, Remi Fani-Kayode. Gyankroma was educated in the United Kingdom, where she attended La Sainte Union Catholic School. <\/p>\n

Currently, Gyankroma Akufo-Addo is the executive secretary for the Creative Arts Agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, it has been alleged that, she and her other sisters own duty-free shops at the newly built Terminal 3 at Kotoka International Airport.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adriana Dukua Akufo-Addo<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adriana, like her sister Gyankroma, was born in the UK. <\/p>\n

Though little is publicly known about her career, there was speculation about her relationship with Kimathi Rawlings, the son of former President Jerry John Rawlings, though this has been denied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yeboakua Akufo-Addo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeboakua, another daughter of the president, has kept a low profile. <\/p>\n

Her name, meaning “born on a Wednesday” in Akan, is also part of her grandmother’s name. <\/p>\n

Yeboakua was raised in the UK alongside her sisters, but unlike her siblings, there is little information available about her career or public activities.<\/p>\n

Edwina Nana Douka Akufo-Addo<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Born in 1984, Edwina also grew up in the UK and was educated at La Sainte Union Catholic School. <\/p>\n

She married Kwabena Jumah, the son of a Ghanaian politician, in 2021. <\/p>\n

According to<\/span> Yen Ghana, she owns a restaurant in Accra with her sisters known as Nsuom Nam located at Cantonments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Valerie Obaze<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Valerie was born in the 1980s and raised in London. <\/p>\n

She studied Communications, Culture, and Media at Coventry University. Valerie is an entrepreneur and the founder of R&R Skin Products, a beauty brand. <\/p>\n

She is also the co-founder of Afristle Lounge, a fashion business\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
