Mahama is an advocate for women’s financial empowerment-Opoku-Agyemang

Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has reaffirmed the party's commitment to empowering women financially, promising that this will be a priority for the next NDC government.
Speaking to a large crowd of traders and supporters at the Tarkwa market as she launched her three-day campaign tour of the Western Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang emphasized that the NDC’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, is dedicated to advancing the cause of women.
She highlighted his pledge to establish a Women’s Development Bank, which she described as a significant step toward achieving this goal.
“When established, this bank will offer soft loans and start-up capital to women across various sectors, including fishmongers, bakers, hairdressers, market women, traders, dressmakers, and women in corporate jobs,” Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said.
She praised Mahama as a leader who respects women and the vulnerable, urging Ghanaians to trust him to fulfil his promises if elected in the December 7 general elections.
“Mr. Mahama is a person you can trust.
He respects women, the vulnerable, and all Ghanaians,” she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang also highlighted the broader impact of women’s financial success, stating that “when women do well financially, families and societies benefit too.”
Expressing concern over the lack of development in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency despite more than two decades of support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urged voters to reconsider their choices in the upcoming elections.
She called on the constituents to vote for the NDC’s Parliamentary Candidate, Sheikh Issah Taylor, and John Dramani Mahama as President to bring much-needed development to the area.
