Joyce Bawa Mogtari has been appointed to a prominent position in the public service sector, where she will leverage her extensive experience in law and public policy to contribute to the administration’s agenda. Known for her integrity and proficiency in governance, Bawa’s appointment is expected to enhance transparency and efficiency in her assigned duties. Her background in law and commitment to public service make her a strong addition to the team.
Shamima Muslim has been appointed to a key role in the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection. With a deep commitment to the welfare of women and children, Shamima has been recognized for her advocacy in social justice and women's rights. Her appointment signals the administration’s dedication to addressing the needs of vulnerable groups in Ghana, including improving access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities for women and children.
Seth Terkper, a former finance minister, has been appointed once again to a significant role within the economic planning framework. His wealth of experience in fiscal policy, budget management, and economic planning positions him as a crucial figure in President Mahama’s strategy to stabilize and grow Ghana's economy. Having served as the finance minister during a critical period, Terkper’s reappointment demonstrates confidence in his ability to steer the country’s finances through challenging times.
These strategic appointments reflect President Mahama’s ongoing efforts to bring skilled and experienced leaders into key positions of governance as part of his broader vision for national development. As Ghana faces numerous challenges, including economic reforms and improving the delivery of public services, these leaders are expected to play a vital role in achieving the country’s development goals.
Their collective expertise and dedication to service will be essential in addressing the complex issues facing the nation, particularly in areas of economic stability, social equity, and good governance.
