President John Dramani Mahama has dissolved all boards of state corporations, commissions, and councils appointed by the previous Nana Akufo-Addo administration.
This directive, issued under the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845), takes immediate effect and is part of efforts to restructure state institutions under the new administration.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Acting Spokesperson to the President, signed the notice, formally informing affected members of their tenure’s end with the new government’s assumption of office.
“In accordance with the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act 845), all members of statutory boards, corporations, commissions, and councils appointed by the former President or a former Minister of State ceased to hold office on 7th January 2025, following the assumption of office of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama,” the statement announced.
The directive exempts independent constitutional bodies, ensuring their continued operation. The government will reconstitute the affected boards and commissions in line with their enabling laws in the coming weeks.
This move follows a series of actions by President Mahama aimed at ensuring smooth governance and alignment with his administration’s vision for state institutions.
