The appointment was contained in a circular issued on May 8, 2026, and signed by the Board Chairlady, Kuukua Maurice Ankrah.
According to the circular, Ing. Samuel Nkansah has also been confirmed as Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Finance and Resources.
In addition, Ing. Samed Abdul Ibrahim, who currently serves as Director of the Project Implementation Unit, has been appointed Acting Deputy Chief Executive responsible for Engineering and Operations.
