The President wished him well in his future endeavors. 

“The President thanks you for your service to the nation and wishes you the very best in your future endeavours”, the letter added. 

Prof. Opoku-Amankwa was appointed in January 2021 on secondment from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.

His contract was extended again in June 2021. 

However, according to his dismissal letter, the extension was in “contravention of the Human Resource Policy Framework and manual of the Public Services Commission as it purports to extend your secondment beyond the 3-year maximum limit.”
