President John Mahama's return to office has begun on a high note, with many Ghanaians expressing satisfaction with his first 120 days, according to Dr Abdul-Gafaru Abdulai, Associate Professor of Development Politics at the University of Ghana Business School. "Generally, a general assessment, 120 days, how do you think this administration has fared?
I think it's been very positive.
And I get the impression that, I mean, Ghanaians are generally very happy with these few number of days," Professor Abdulai said during an interview on Morning Starr with Naa Dedei Tettey.
He pointed to one major policy decision that has gained widespread public approval-the promise and delivery of a lean government. "For me, I think one of the crucial steps that has been taken by this government that appears to be so widely applauded by the Ghanaian public is this issue of the number of ministers," he noted. "One of the promises was to sort of, like, establish the leanest government that Ghana has ever had.
