“My Ever Loyal and Diligent Protégé” — Okudzeto Ablakwa Sends Strong Message to His PA Kofi Abotsi

Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has congratulated his personal assistant, Kofi Abotsi Esq., after he was called to the Ghana Bar.

The minister shared the message on his official Facebook page on Friday, October 9, 2026. He also posted photos from the occasion. One shows him placing a hand on the young lawyer’s shoulder as they share a warm moment. Another shows the newly called lawyer seated in a chair, holding his wig, with the Ghana flag behind him.

In the post, Mr. Ablakwa described Kofi Abotsi as his “ever loyal and diligent protégé.” The words show the close working relationship between the two men and the pride the minister feels in his assistant’s achievement.

The minister did not stop there. He also extended his congratulations to several of his colleagues in public service who were called to the bar on the same day. They are Hon. Samuel Nartey George, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, Hon. Davis Ansah Opoku, Hon. Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, Hon. Seth Kwame Acheampong and Hon. Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei.

Mr. Ablakwa described their achievement as well deserved. He also congratulated all the distinguished lawyers who were called to the bar that day.

He ended his message by wishing them an accomplished legal career.

The call to the bar is a major milestone for any legal professional. It marks the end of years of study and training and the start of a new chapter in the practice of law. For people who balance heavy work duties with academic study, the achievement is even more remarkable.

Mr. Ablakwa’s message has drawn attention online. Many Ghanaians have joined him in congratulating the new lawyers and wishing them success in their careers.

As the new lawyers begin their journey, many hope they will use their knowledge to serve the nation and uphold justice. The minister’s words of encouragement will surely motivate them as they take up their new roles.
