Even before the appointment of supervisory ministries to oversee regulations, the John Mahama administration began assigning people to important agencies.
The Minerals Income and Investment Fund (MIIF) and the National Lottery Authority (NLA), both of which are under the Ministry of Finance and will be led by Cassel Ato Baah Forson, are two examples of these organizations.
President Mahama named Sammy Gyamfi Esq. the Precious Minerals Marketing Company’s (PMMC) acting managing director yesterday.
A change in leadership is anticipated at the Ministry of Energy’s Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC). The current CEO, Joseph Abuabu Dadzie, is expected to be succeeded by Dr. Randy Abbey, a formerly of Metro TV.
Bennet Ankantoa, a former managing director of the now-defunct Cocoa Marketing Company (CMC), is predicted to take over as the new CEO of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), one such organization.
MIIF’s CEO, Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng, has been fired.
As of January 14, 2025, Justina Nelson has taken over as Acting CEO in his place.
Nelson has a wealth of experience in mining and finance and is currently a group head at Zenith Bank, where she oversees energy and commercial banking.
After Samuel Awuku resigned on January 13, 2025, Mohammed Abdul-Salam was named the NLA’s acting director-general.
