President Akufo-Addo has retained Akosua Frema Osei-Opare as his Chief of Staff at the Office of the President as he makes his first list of appointments for his second term office.
The President also retained Nana Asante Bediatuo as his Secretary in the batch of appointment released by the Presidency Tuesday.
Eugene Arhin also retained his position as Director of Communications at the Presidency.
Emmanuel Adumua-Bossman and Fawaz Aliu have been appointed as Deputy Chief of Staff.
Brigadier General Emmanuel Okyere has been given the National Security Advisor position while Sam Ellis and Isaac Owusu-Mensah have been selected as Director of Personnel and Director of Research respectively.
The Director for ECOWAS and Regional Integration position was allocated to Michael Ofori-Atta.
The appointees have been asked to “undertake their duties in acting capacities, subject to consultation with the yet-to-be constituted Council of State.”
The President is yet to make ministerial appointments in his second term.
These category of appointments do not have to undergo parliamentary vetting but are to be done in consultation with the Council of State.
Some Ministers in the previous Akufo-Addo government have however been named as caretaker ministers until the President makes new appointments.
