“It is my prayer that God will give you long life and good health…that you will be elevated to become the first female President. May Allah grant you the strength,” he said.
The Education Minister also praised Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang for her lifelong dedication to education and her tireless advocacy for gender equality and inclusivity, describing her as a “champion of education, gender rights, gender interests, and inclusiveness in the pursuit of government policy.”
He further highlighted his long-standing collaboration with the Vice President, recalling a shared covenant over the years to advance education and gender-centred initiatives.
