Samuel Abu Jinapor

After the Ghanaian general election in 2016, President Akuffo-Addo, appointed him to be the deputy Chief of Staff to Frema Opare. At the time of his appointment he was 33 years old. His appointment received mixed reaction from New Patriotic Party members and the Ghanaian populace. Some believed he was too young to hold such a sensitive position whiles others also held the view that he abandoned the party after it lost the 2012 Ghanaian general election. Some also applauded the President for his bold decision to appoint a young person to the position. He replied to his critics by making it known that his aim was to ensure that Nana Akuffo-Addo's vision for the country would all be fulfilled by the end of presidency.

Abu Jinapor was employed in 2012 at the commercial and corporate law firm, Kulendi@Law, upon his graduation for the Ghana School of Law. His two years at the firm saw him rise from a pupil to senior associate.
