Mahama Swears In Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings as Environment, Science and Technology Minister
President Mahama has directed Ghana's new Environment, Science and Technology Minister to make science, technology, and innovation the core engine of national development, explicitly prioritizing the translation of research into practical solutions for agriculture, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing. The mandate hinges on forging deep collaborations between universities, research institutions, and industry to convert local inventions into job-creating economic opportunities. Crucially, this push for growth is framed as a dual mandate: development must expand opportunities without compromising environmental sustainability for future generations. The directive ultimately sets a standard for public service, demanding integrity, accountability, and urgency, while positioning science as the primary tool for solving Ghana's most pressing challenges.
