President Nana Akufo-Addo has appointed Kwaku Ohene Djan as a Deputy Executive Director of Ghana’s National Service Scheme.
Mr. Ohene Djan’s appointment comes on the heels of the resignation of Henry Nana Boakye, popularly know as Nana B, who was elected to lead the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Youth Wing in July.
Prior to this appointment, Kwaku Ohene Djan served as Executive Secretary of the National Youth Wing of the NPP.
At present, he serves as Vice Chairman of the International Young Democrat Union (I. Y. D.U), which is a global alliance of Centre-Right political parties and organizations.
He has a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the GIMPA School of Governance and Public Policy.
Additionally, he is an alumnus of The Theodor Heus International Academy of Leadership and the International Visitors Leadership Program of the US State Department.
There had been some concern that it too Nana B almost two months to resign from his position.
He had said he would resign after coming victorious in the NPP’s national executive elections.
In the letter communicating this, Nana B explained that his resignation was to enable him to concentrate on his new elected position as the National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“In order for me to be able to discharge this duty, in this new role, to the best of my ability, I have decided, after extensive consultations with the leadership of our party and other stakeholders, to resign as the Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Scheme.”

Dear Sir,

At the last National Delegates Conference of the New Patriotic Party, held in Koforidua, I had the honor of being elected as the National Youth Organizer of our great party. Prior to, and in the aftermath of my election, I reiterated my commitment to building a robust and effective youth wing, which will play a pivotal role in our party’s quest to retain power in 2020 and beyond.
In order for me to be able to discharge this duty, in this new role, to the best of my ability, I have decided, after extensive consultations with the leadership of our party and other stakeholders, to resign as the Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Scheme.
Mr. President, I am eternally grateful for the opportunity you gave me to serve in your government. My days at the National Service Scheme afforded me in-depth knowledge into a wide range of issues affecting and of concern to the youth of our country, and I will be relying on this experience, amongst others, to help your Government in meeting the aspirations of the teeming masses of Ghanaian youth and also the youth of our party.
I remain your loyal lieutenant who will, at all times, protect and defend the interests of your Government, and I look forward to serving you even more in my new role as National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party.
I thank you, once again, Mr. President for the opportunity, and may God continue to bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Henry Nana Boakye
National Youth Organizer
New Patriotic Party.
