Nana Akomea, the Chief Executive Officer of the InterCity State Transport Corporation (STC), has lauded the former Education Minister, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang for being selected as running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The NDC, in a statement, said; “Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang is a distinguished academic and leader renowned for her dedication to education and public service. Having served as Minister for Education and as the first female Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, she has emerged as a trailblazer for women in leadership across Ghana.”

Possessing extensive qualifications and experience, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise of the NDC’s presidential ticket.”

The STC boss stressed Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang's candidature is not exciting.

"She is a good woman...there is really no excitement about her candidature. Even though she is a good person, she is not exciting," he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi.
