The African Centre for Women in Politics (ACWP) has described the appointment of Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang as ‘a fulfillment that has been long-awaited by women in Ghana, in Africa and the world at large.”
In a press release, the group explained that, her appointment indicates the great progress women in general are making to become part of the decision making process for the country.
“Women must be recognized as partners in development, giving cognizance of the roles they play and not only suitable as kitchen or bedroom “tools”. More women should be given such challenging opportunities to see and measure how far we can travel as a country, after 63 years of independence.
Signed by the Executive Director, Alimatu Issahak, the statement also said her appointment “will further deepen the confidence of women across the country especially in developing their competencies so as not to be left out on the decision-making table.”
