Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has returned to Ghana from London, United Kingdom, after fully recovering from a recent illness that kept her away from public duties for several weeks.

Her arrival was met with a warm reception at the Kotoka International Airport, where she was welcomed by President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama.

They were joined by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Vice President’s Chief of Staff Alex Segbefia, and other high-ranking government officials.

Also at the airport were the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church and family members of the Vice President.

President Mahama confirmed her return during a stop on his "Thank You Tour" in Dodowa, Greater Accra Region, on Friday, May 16.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang reportedly fell ill on Friday, March 28, 2025, and was admitted to the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) the following day for treatment.

On medical advice, she began a three-week medical leave on April 7 and travelled abroad for further care as a precaution.

In her brief remarks, the Vice President thanked Ghanaians for their prayers, sent her appreciation to her doctors and the medic staff at the UGMC, and celebrated President Mahama and his younger brother, Ibrahim, for their support, thoughtfulness and care.
