A Deputy Minister of Energy, Andrew Egyapa Mercer, is slated to now work as Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture as President Akufo-Addo wraps up his second term in office.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has unveiled significant changes to his ministerial team in a major cabinet reshuffle, responding to growing calls for a shake-up.
As such, Egyapa Mercer will leave the Energy Ministry to the Tourism, Arts and Culture as its head, taking over from Dr. Ibrahim Mohammed Awal.
Dr. Ibrahim Mohammed Awal has not been reassigned, meaning he will cease to be a Minister once Egyapa Mercer receives Parliamentary approval and subsequently sworn in as minister by President Akufo-Addo.
