Daughter of late Adamu Atta, form civilian governor of old Kwara State, Nigerian, in the person of Ms. Saratu Atta, has been appointed by the new President of Ghana, Nana Akufo Addo as Personal Assistant.
President Nana Akufo Addo announced the appointment of Saratu Atta, who was one time wife of the former Nigeria Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, two days ago.
Saratu Atta, who was born 53 years ago, is a graduate of the University of Warwick, UK, and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics and International Studies after which she worked as a Securities Trader at First Securities Discount House in Lagos, Nigeria from 1993 to1997.
Saratu Atta established her own security printing company in Lagos before she was appointed as Ghana’s New Patriotic Party (NPP) Campaign Secretary in 2008. She has been Office Manager and Executive Assistant to Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo Addo who contested the presidential election on NPP’s ticket since 2009.
The new Personal Assistant to Ghana’s President married Fani-Kayode in 1987 and bore him a female and her only child named Folake in the same year. They parted ways around 1989 when Mr. Fani-Kayode found a new wife, Yemisi Wada.
Saratu Atta’s older Sister, Remi was also said to have once married to Nana Akufo-Addo.
The Ghanaian president and Remi were married for 10 years and spent most of their time together in Paris before returning to Accra where they later divorced after two children together. [myad]
