The achievement marks a significant milestone towards gender equality and empowerment, the organization said.

A statement signed by Ms. Bernice Abbeyquaye, President of AWEP Ghana, and copied to the Ghana News Agency on Monday, described the Vice-President’s achievement as a testament to her exceptional leadership and commitment to public service.

“On behalf of AWEP Ghana, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Her Excellency Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang on her historic election as the first female Vice-President of the Republic of Ghana,” it stated.

“This groundbreaking achievement is a testament to her exceptional leadership, dedication, and commitment to public service.”
