Rodney Nkrumah Boateng, Press Secretary to Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh popularly called ‘NAPO’, has highlighted his boss’ impressive qualifications and credentials.

In an interview with Bernard Avle on The Point of View on Channel One TV, Rodney Nkrumah Boateng, emphasised NAPO’s strong grassroots appeal to help Bawumia break the eight.

He noted that during NAPO’s tenure as Education Minister, he successfully addressed long-standing issues in the education sector, demonstrating his problem-solving capabilities and commitment to improving lives at the grassroots level.

“For every politician, in this campaign, grassroots appeal is going to be very important. And I think that is one strength that he brings across… From my interactions with him for over the past 7 years, he’s an achiever and a doer. He sets his eyes on something and he’s laser-focused, I mean this is where we want to get to, we’re getting there.

“And I saw that whether it was Free SHS, or licensure teacher exams, national service for teachers, some of the difficult areas, double track, the computer meltdown, some of the issues that sort of stuck out during his tenure as education minister, and you saw in there a certain character who didn’t easily get carried away.

“When we had to reopen schools, COVID-19, Accra Girls’ incident where a student died and all that, you saw in him a certain determination that this is my mandate, this is my vision.

“I want to get there because this is what I have been asked to do. I think those are the qualities [he possesses]. Grassroots appeal is very important,” he stated.
