Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has expressed her pride in Commissioner of Police Lydia Yaako Donkor, the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), following her election to the INTERPOL Africa Committee. The Vice President received Commissioner Donkor and described the achievement as both a “personal victory and a national honor.” The milestone is seen as a significant moment for Ghana’s law enforcement and its standing on the continental stage.
In her remarks, the Vice President expressed confidence in Commissioner Donkor’s capabilities, stating her belief that the Commissioner is well-equipped to meet the higher expectations that come with her new position. Professor Opoku-Agyemang expects Commissioner Donkor to make even greater contributions at the continental level, leveraging her experience and skills for the benefit of all of Africa. The election is viewed not only as a testament to Commissioner Donkor’s individual merit but also as a reflection of the strength of Ghana’s police service.
Finally, the Vice President used the opportunity to emphasize the importance of supporting women who attain positions of leadership and influence. She highlighted that each success achieved by a woman in a prominent role helps to “open doors for others.” This sentiment underscores a broader commitment to promoting gender equality and empowering women in all sectors of society, with Commissioner Donkor’s election serving as a powerful example.
