Prof. Naana Jane is incorruptible, committed to Ghana – Mahama extols running mate

The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr John Dramani Mahama, has  described his Running Mate, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, as” a remarkable individual” who would help play a leading role in putting Ghana back on the track of progress and  prosperity. 

He said Prof Opoku-Agyemang is cultured, courteous, scholarly, humble, compassionate and  sensitive to the needs of all people. 

Mr Mahama also lauded his Running Mate for having high integrity. 

The NDC Flagbearer extolled the virtues of Prof. Opoku-Agyemang on Tuesday when he  joined her to pay a courtesy call on the Central Regional House of Chiefs. 

Mr Mahama said with a pragmatic approach devoid of propaganda, Prof Opoku-Agyemang  led an initiative that transformed Ghana’s educational system and provided opportunities for  countless Ghanaian youth.  

He noted that under her leadership as the Minister of Education, the sector witnessed the  construction of over 2,000 school projects across the country, including classroom blocks,  teachers accommodation facilities, and school desks and tables which led to the reduction in  number of schools under trees, adding that she created a conducive environment for learning  at the basic school. 

Mr Mahama also credited Prof Opoku-Agyemang for introducing the progressively free  education system in line with Ghana’s 1992 constitution. He said the model E-Block  Community Day Secondary Schools also started under her administration as Education  Minister and she worked hard to abolish the shift system at the basic school level.  

He said that Prof. Opku-Agemang ensured the automatic posting of teachers without the  hurdles of licensure examination and eliminated the quota system at the Colleges of  Education which led to a substantial increase in enrolment.  

“Prof Naana Jane is a leader who possesses high moral values, she is incorruptible, and all  through her service to Ghana has remained committed and remain patriotic. She comes with  wisdom, tact, passion, integrity and decades of experience to the Vice Presidential office”, Mr  Mahama said.

For her part, Prof Opoku-Agyemang said she does not take the confidence reposed in her by  Mr Mahama for granted and promised to work hard to ensure victory for the NDC in the  December 7 general elections. 

The President of the Central Regional House of Chiefs, Odeefo Amoakwa Buadu VIII, commended the NDC flagbearer for appointing an indigene of their region as his Running  Mate and urged the NDC to help develop the region when Mr Mahama wins the December 7  general elections.
