He went on to represent the Choggu/Tishigu Constituency in Parliament between 1997 and 2001, cementing his standing as a key figure in Ghana's political landscape during that era.

Beyond his ministerial and legislative roles, Adam also served as Board Chairman of the Agricultural Development Bank, extending his influence into the country's financial infrastructure for the farming sector.

His reported passing removes a longstanding voice from both Ghana's political and agricultural communities.

Adam's career bridged two critical areas of national development, and his contributions to food policy and rural agriculture during the Rawlings years left a lasting mark on the sector.
