President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has accepted the resignation of Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto from the Food and Agriculture Ministry.
The President has thanked him for his service and extended his best wishes to Dr. Akoto in his future dealings.
Dr. Akoto stepped down as Agric Minister last Tuesday ostensibly to pursue his presidential ambitions ahead of the next general elections in 2024.
“The President of Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has accepted the resignation from office of Hon. Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto as Minister for Food and Agriculture. President Akufo-Addo conveyed his sincere gratitude to Hon. Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto for his services to government and to the nation, and wished him the best of luck in his future endeavours”, parts of a statement from the Jubilee House read.
Dr. Akoto’s resignation came days after Alan Kyerematen also resigned from the government as Trade Minister to focus on his presidential ambition.
