Deputy Director General of SSNIT resigns
Michael Addo, the Deputy Director General in charge of Finance and Administration at the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), has submitted his immediate resignation.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Addo’s resignation is due to some conflict between himself and the newly appointed Director-General, Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo.
The decision to resign came shortly after the previous Director-General, Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang, presented his handing over notes to the Trust’s Board on April 12, 2024, just before the deadline to leave his position.
Following the termination of Dr. Ofori Tenkorang’s appointment by President Akufo-Addo on April 9, Osafo-Maafo was appointed as his replacement. This led to the reassignment of Pearl Nana Ama Darko and the appointment of Juliana Kpedekpo as the new Deputy Director General for Operations and Benefits.
The President is expected to appoint a new Deputy Director General for Investment and Development and another for Finance and Administration in the near future.
