President Akufo-Addo has terminated the appointment of the Director General of the Ghana Education Service, Professor Kofi Amankwah with immediate effect.
This was contained in a letter dated Monday October 17, 2022 and signed by the secretary to the president, Nana Asante Bediatu
A referral is made to my letter dated January 22, 2021, informing you that the President of the Republic has appointed you as the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service and another letter, dated June 14, 2021, extending your secondment from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to the Ghana Education Service.
The letter noted that the Ministry of Education has informed the office of the p[resident that the exigencies that required your skills and expertise as Director-General of the Ghana Education Service do not exist any longer.
Moreover, the extension of your secondment by the 14th of June, 2021 letter is 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.
Accordingly, the President has instructed that your secondment be terminated forthwith.
You are directed to return to your position at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
The President thanks you for your service to the nation and wishes you the very best in your future endeavors.
