Osafo-Maafo’s son replaces Dr. Ofori Tenkorang as SSNIT Boss
President Akufo-Addo has relieved Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang of his duties as the Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT). Dr. Tenkorang has been instructed to hand over his duties to Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo, the Deputy Director-General for Investments, by Monday, April 15. As a result, Mr. Osafo-Maafo has been promoted to the position of Director-General for SSNIT, according to sources within the Presidency. Pearl Nana Ama Darko, the Deputy Director-General for Operations and Benefits, has been reassigned to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as the Commissioner for Support Services.
Additionally, President Akufo-Addo has appointed Juliana Kpedekpo as the new Deputy Director-General for Operations and Benefits. A new Deputy Director-General for Investment and Development will be appointed by President Akufo-Addo in the near future. These changes are part of President Akufo-Addo’s recent efforts to enhance governance efficiency in his government.
One of the recent changes includes swapping the Upper East and Upper West Regional Ministers. Hon. Stephen Yakubu, the Upper East Regional Minister, has been appointed as the new Upper West Regional Minister, while Hafiz Bin Salih, the Upper West Regional Minister, has assumed the role of Upper East Regional Minister with immediate effect. These adjustments aim to improve governance efficiency and promote the welfare and development of the people in the Upper West and Upper East regions.
