The Patriotic Youth Advocates (PYA), a youth group that has leanings to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for nominating Mr Kwaku Agyemang-Manu for the position of Minister of Health.
The group said nominating Mr Agyemang-Manu for the same position after working with him for four years was an indication that the President was satisfied with his work, hence the decision to repose such a huge responsibility on him again.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, the Spokesperson for the group, Nana Akwasi, said the group was not surprised at the President’s decision because Mr Agyemang-Manu excelled in executing the President’s vision for the sector, provided leadership in the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic and addressed the myriad of challenges facing the health sector.

Last week’s protest by ex-soldiers at the Federal Ministry of Finance in Abuja and reported abandonment or desertion from duty, as well as resignations for sundry reasons, could be an indication that Nigeria might be quietly creeping back to its worst military pension administration, which culminated in a major crisis between 2000 and 2004 before it was sanitised by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
