Vice President, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang

Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has made a strong call for ethical leadership and moral courage as essential to Ghana’s national strength.

Speaking on behalf of the President at the Ahmadiyya Community’s 93rd Jalsa Salana, she emphasised the moral responsibility of both citizens and leaders to do what is right, oppose injustice, and act with integrity.

Under the theme, “Moral Decadence and Our Responsibilities in the Light of Islamic Teachings,” the Vice President highlighted the importance of moral responsibility and ethical conduct in leadership and citizenship.

“Quranic lessons remind us that ethical leadership and moral courage are vital for national strength,” she stated.

The Vice President reaffirmed the government’s commitment to accountability and transparency, including improved coordination among key anti-corruption agencies and the enforcement of a strong Code of Conduct for public officials.

She outlined key areas of progress under the current administration, including economic stabilisation, education and health reforms, skills development for young people, and a renewed focus on infrastructure, good governance, and social equity.

She also highlighted the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s practical contributions to national development, particularly in agriculture.

“The Pomadze Poultry Initiative is progressing. The project aligns with national efforts under Feed Ghana and Nkoko Nkitinkiti to boost domestic poultry production, generate employment, stabilise prices, and improve food security,” she noted.

Beyond agriculture, she acknowledged the Community’s significant investments in education, healthcare, and humanitarian services, including the vital role played by Lajna Imaillah, the women’s wing of the Community.

“These efforts exemplify service to humanity in action,” she added.
