Ex-sports minister Nii Lante Vanderpuye
Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, the former Minister of Youth and Sports (now the Ministry of Sports and Recreation), has finally earned an appointment in the second term of President John Dramani Mahama.
The former Member of Parliament for Odododiodio has been appointed as the National Coordinator for the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP).
Nii Lante was heavily linked with a return to the sports ministry, but the predictions turned out to be false as Kofi Adams was instead picked by President Mahama as the Minister of Sports and Recreation.
While no official reason was given for the surprising decision to pick Kofi Adams, speculations indicate that it could be due to the quota system in Parliament and regional balance.
DRIP, was an initiative of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government to improve all road networks in the country.
The initiative focuses on equipping Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) with the necessary resources and machinery to facilitate effective road maintenance and construction.
