Second Lady of Ghana is the title given to the wife of the vice-president of the Republic of Ghana.[1][2] The current second lady is Samira Bawumia,[3][4][1] who has held that position since 2017 when her husband Mahamudu Bawumia was sworn into office.[5][6] They are not officially given salaries but the Ghanaian first and second lady are both given clothing allowances to serve as initiatives to be comfortable enough to advocate the country through material forms of culture. They usually undertake social programmes and philanthropic activities especially in relation to kids and women.[7][8][9]
