This significant reshuffle signals a strategic move to strengthen key sectors, including education, agriculture, and infrastructure development.

 


The appointments represent a blend of experienced politicians and technocrats, reflecting a careful balance designed to leverage both institutional knowledge and innovative leadership.  Among the high-profile appointments are:

 

- Haruna Iddrisu, MP: Appointed Minister of Education.

- Kwame Governs Agbodza, MP: Appointed Minister of Roads and Highways.
