President Akufo-Addo is poised to initiate a reshuffle in the leadership of various regions across the nation, signaling forthcoming changes in regional administration.
Reports indicate that the impending administrative adjustments will involve the transfer of Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih, the current Upper West Regional Minister, to the neighboring Upper East Region.
Concurrently, Stephen Yakubu, presently serving as the Upper East Regional Minister, will assume duties in the Upper West Region. This strategic realignment aims to optimize leadership dynamics and bolster operational efficiency within the regional framework.
The anticipated reshuffle is expected to extend to other regions across the country, reflecting the president’s commitment to ensuring effective governance at the regional level.
This move to shuffle regional ministers follows recent changes in the president’s roster of sector ministers. In a notable departure from his customary practice, President Akufo-Addo recently effected significant changes in his government, including the removal and reassignment of several key ministers.
Among the prominent figures affected by the reshuffle were Ken Ofori-Atta, the former Minister for Finance, and Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, the erstwhile Minister of Health.
The administrative shakeup occurs against the backdrop of the impending 2024 general elections, underscoring the government’s efforts to optimize its structure and performance in the lead-up to this crucial electoral event.
