The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo tasked the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor to assume responsibility as Caretaker Minister for Trade and Industry.
His new role which takes effect from January 16, 2023, would last until a substantive minister is appointed.
The announcement was contained in a communication from Jubilee House this evening, signed by the Director of Communications, Eugene Arhin.
Earlier, the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta was assigned that caretaker role, an appointment which met public uproar.
It is not readily know whether the public sentiment to the finance minister’s assignment necessitated the change.
However, Jubilee House was silent on the new development.
