Accra, Sept 25, GNA – President John Dramani Mahama has used his address at 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York to praised Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang on her ascension as Ghana’s first woman Vice President.
“I would also like to congratulate Her Excellency Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang on being the first woman Vice President of Ghana. Now every Ghanaian girl knows the heights to which she can ascend,” President Mahama said.
He also congratulated Madam Annalena Baerbock, a German diplomat and politician on her election to preside over the historic 80th General Assembly, and on being the fifth woman to hold this distinction.
“Words matter, but issues of representation matter even more, which is why Ghana looks forward to the appointment of a woman as Secretary General of this organisation in the future,” President Mahama stated.
