Gyankroma Akufo-Addo’s appointment was met with cries of nepotism by the country’s opposition while others also raised questions about her competence due to her lack of history as an administrator.

In an interview with Ghanaian radio station Starr Fm, Gyankroma said fears over her competence were unfounded.

“My father is very passionate about the creative art and I have always wanted to make my father proud, and in this stance I’m not there as his daughter but I’m there as someone he knows can do the job, who is qualified for the job and knows can do the job; has the experience for the job and passionate about the job. And my proof is to prove to my President that I’m capable of doing it”.

Her defense might be a tad late considering the Council which has three members, music producer Mark Okraku Mantey and actress Bibi Bright has been silent since its inauguration in March.
