Former Metro TV journalist and prominent media personality, Bridget Otoo, has been appointed as a staff member at the Office of the President, a move that marks her formal entry into public service.
Bridget Otoo, widely known for her fearless journalism and vocal advocacy on social issues, is expected to bring her strong communication skills and public engagement experience to her new role in government. While specific details about her portfolio remain undisclosed, her appointment has already sparked widespread public interest and discussion.
Otoo has long been a household name in Ghana’s media landscape, admired for her dynamic presence on screen and her uncompromising stance on matters of national importance. In recent years, she has also gained recognition as a social and political activist, notably taking part in the “Occupy Julorbi House” protests in Accra on September 21, 2023.

Though reactions to her appointment have been mixed on social media, many supporters view it as a timely inclusion of a strong advocate for the people within the government machinery.
