President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has sworn in 12 out of the 13 ministers approved by Parliament.

At a ceremony held at the Flagstaff House Friday, the President charged the ministers to live by the public creed that calls on them to discharge a selfless service to the nation.

He entreated them to work towards achieving policies promised Ghanaians by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the 2016 general elections.
