Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang
Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang is currently serving as the Acting President of the Republic of Ghana.
She has assumed this role following the departure of the sitting President, John Dramani Mahama, who has travelled to Germany for an official assignment at the Munich Security Conference.
President Mahama left the country on February 12, 2025, and is expected to return on Monday, February 17.
He will also attend the African Union (AU) Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as part of his official assignment.
Speaking to the press before the President’s departure at the Jubilee Lounge of Kotoka International Airport in Accra on February 12, 2025, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Presidential Spokesman and Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, stated that President Mahama is the Chairman of the Tana Forum, a security think tank focused on developing strategies to enhance African security.
He emphasized that in today’s rapidly evolving geopolitical environment, where security is a top priority, it is crucial for prominent African leaders to contribute to discussions on the subject.
President Mahama is scheduled to participate in the opening session of the Munich Security Conference.
While in Munich, he will hold bilateral discussions with several world leaders and organizations on a range of issues, primarily focused on strengthening Ghana’s international partnerships.
Additionally, he will speak at a side event organized by the Tana Forum.
“As Chair, he will outline his vision and perspectives on the emerging security challenges facing the continent and beyond,” Kwakye Ofosu stated during the press briefing.
