Owusu-Ankomah denies media reports

Accra, April 26, GNA - Paapa Owusu Ankomah, Minister of Education, Science and Sports denied on Thursday he had resigned his post as a minister of state.

Reacting to media reports indicating that he had made plans for his resignation, the Minister said, " These reports are false. I have made no such plans, nor have I announced them to any person in the media".

In a statement in Accra, Paapa Owusu-Ankomah said, "Continued speculation along these lines is a mark of disrespect to his Excellency, President Kufuor, to whom I would first communicate any such news". The Minister said it was injurious to the ongoing mission he had undertaken to carry out the President's very important agenda within the Ministry he headed and asked media personnel who wish to comment on his future to contact him for the right story.
