His tenure as the Minister of Education saw significant transformations, including numerous GetFund projects, the construction of new classroom blocks, and scholarships for high school students.

According to him, at the Energy Ministry where he served as Minister until his recent resignation, his leadership has brought relative stability to the energy sector and tangible benefits to the Akatsi North constituency.

Under Dr Opoku Prempeh's leadership, the constituency has received numerous streetlights, enhancing safety and security for residents. Additionally, his recent initiative to release 99 LV poles will extend electricity to five communities namely Glime, Ekpekope, Sodokpokorpe, Kudzeagbakope, and Nyitawuta.
