The Sankana Traditional Council in the Nadowli-Kaleo District, has eulogised Ghana’s Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, on her historic ascension to the second highest office of the country as its first female Vice President.
The Council said that achievement reflected her distinguished leadership, unwavering dedication to public service, and lifelong commitment to education and national development.
“It is a testament to the progress Ghana continues to make in promoting gender inclusivity and empowering women to contribute meaningfully to governance and national transformation,” the Council added.
Naa Pagraninge Sakoe Mornah III, the President of the Sankana Traditional Council, said this in an address read on his behalf at a press conference held in Sankana.
He also congratulated President John Dramani and Mr Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin for ascending to the highest offices of the country.
Mr Eric Dakurah, the Secretary to Sankana Naa, Naa Mornah III, addressed the press on behalf of the traditional council.
Mr Dakurah explained that the Vice President, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, who had been bestowed with a chieftaincy title, Pognaa Piirima Maaluuma of the Sankana Traditional Area, had exhibited a dedicated commitment to the development of the traditional area over the years.
He said Pognaa Piirima Maaluuma, among other things, facilitated the construction of a daycare school in Sankana and the fencing of the Sankana cluster of schools during her tenure as the Education Minister in President Mahama’s first term from 2013 to 2016.
He added that Pognaa Piirima Maaluuma also exposed the Sankana community to the international community through research she conducted in the community with her “white friends.”
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, Piirima Maaloma, was enskinned a Queenmother within the Sankana Traditional Council in June 2024.
Her title is associated with rocks and water, symbolising resilience, purity, and progress.
“The significance of the rocks in your political journey and the cleansing power of the water remains a profound metaphor for the strength and integrity that continues to define your path,” Naa Mornah explained.
The Council assured the Vice President of their unwavering support and prayers for a successful tenure.
It expressed confidence that her leadership would further Ghana’s development agenda to ensure equity, progress, and prosperity for all citizens.
The traditional council presented citations to the Vice President, Pognaa Piirima Maaluuma, and the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Bagbin in recognition of their unwavering dedication to the development of Ghana.
It also announced that it would confer a chieftaincy title on Speaker Bagbin to signify the pride of the traditional Council in him.
