Christine Afrifa (née Christine Sussana Addaquay) was a First Lady of Ghana and wife of Akwasi Afrifa.[2][3][4] She worked in this office from April 1969 when her husband assumed office as head of state of Ghana to September 1969 when civilian rule was ushered in and Kofi Abrefa Busia took over as Prime Minister of Ghana. She married Akwasi Afrifa in 1968.[5] Following her husband's death in 1979, she moved to the United Kingdom.[6] A road in Accra is named in her honour.[7]
