The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has expressed his goodwill for Vice President Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, praying that she will one day become Ghana’s first female president.

Mr Iddrisu made the remarks when the Vice President visited the Ministry of Education in Accra.

Welcoming her, he said, “It’s my pride and honour and grace to want to welcome you back to the Ministry of Education, this time in an elevated capacity as the first female Vice President of our Republic.”

The minister went on to wish her long life and good health, adding, “It is my prayer that God will give you long life and good health, so that probably you will be elevated to become the first female President. God bless you.”
