This comes after Acting Communications Director at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin released a list of President Akufo-Addo’s nominees for ministers on Thursday January 21, 2021.

President Akufo-Addo has also realigned seven Ministries namely, Aviation, Business Development, Inner City and Zongo Development, Monitoring and Evaluation, Planning, Regional Re-organisation and Development, and Special Development Initiatives.
