“My President is in a hurry to fix the country and restore it’s glory, so I’m also in a hurry to make sure we succeed together…we must work for the forward march of this region.”
The newly appointed Regional Minister met staff of the Ashanti Regional Coordinating council, as part of efforts to familiarise himself with all staff for an effective and efficient administration, during his tenure of office.
