Aviation Minister, Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah is now the Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources according to a reschuffle done by the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
As John Boadu, the NPP general secretary will say, “it is a limited reschuffle” in the Nana Addo government. Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah has been exchanged with Mr Kofi Adda, Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources now the Aviation Minister. This is what we call, “exchange is no robbery”.
Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah is leaving the ministry with a lot of unfinshed projects pending, for example the home based carrier and the inauguration of the Terminal 3 building not to mention a few.
The new Minister for Aviation, Mr Kofi Adda hopefully will continue with the projects Madam Cecilia started and make Ghana the Aviation Hub in West Africa as it is the dream of many in the industry.
