During the 5th session of the 15th Congregation at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, Ghana’s First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, expressed her optimism about the country electing its first female president in the near future.
Rebecca Akufo-Addo believes that such a historic achievement would serve as an inspiration for girls nationwide, encouraging them to strive for excellence in contributing to Ghana’s development.
Addressing young girls, the First Lady urged them to be motivated and aspire to reach greater heights in their careers and personal growth.
Highlighting the significant roles played by women in both the judiciary and executive branches, she shared her dream of witnessing a day when Ghana proudly has a female president.
In her words, “I dream that one day there will be a woman president in Ghana and Madam President will be said as easy as Mr. President.”
