He is ever ripped for the job. Please Kwaw, for your information, he has worked for Ecowas, IMF and UN as Trade Expert when NPP was in opposition so don't question his Economics competency. He is genius in Economics. He has done so many consultancies.
As usual we see Nana at his best in appointments. Dr Apraku really merits this position and Nana as someone who relishes quality and effective performance has located this industrious son of the soil to fill that position. All the best Doc, and May Yahweh Sabaoth be your guard and guide.
