She now serves as Press Secretary to Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang. With years of experience in political programming and media management, her appointment is seen as a strategic move to improve public engagement at the highest level of government. Abeiku Santana, widely known for his presence in both radio and television, has been named Deputy CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority.

Another familiar face, Kofi Okyere-Darko (KOD), has been appointed Director of Diaspora Affairs. Known for his work in broadcasting and fashion, KOD is expected to help deepen connections between the government and Ghanaians living abroad.
Shamima Muslim, a respected journalist and former Citi FM presenter, has been appointed Deputy Presidential Spokesperson.
