The swearing-in ceremony took place on Wednesday at the Jubilee House.
President Akufo-Addo expressed confidence that the three appointees will excel in their new roles and contribute to strengthening Ghana’s diplomatic relations globally.
He urged the new Ambassadors to work towards deepening Ghana’s ties with other countries and to seek out investment opportunities for the nation.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, Major General Abedi pledged to serve Ghana with distinction.
The appointments of Mr. Aliu and Mr. Ampratwum follow that of Nana Asante Bediatuo as an Ambassador-at-Large in June 2024.
This earlier appointment sparked controversy, with many questioning whether Nana Bediatuo would continue as the Executive Secretary at the Presidency. Some Ghanaians also criticized the timing and necessity of the appointment, calling it insensitive to the concerns of the public.
