Prof. Opoku Amankwa: GES Director General removed from his post and reoccupies another at KNUST 

President Nana Akufo-Addo has asked that GES Director-General Professor Kwesi Opoku-Amankwa vacates his post 

The sacking letter explains that his expertise was no more needed at the education agency. He has, therefore, been asked to return to Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), from where he was on secondment.

The content of the letter:

The Ministry of Education has informed this office that the exigencies that required your skills and expertise as Director-General of the Ghana Education Servicedoo not exist any longer. 

Moreover, the extension of your secondment by the 14th 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 of the Republic has instructed that your secondment be terminated forthwith, and 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 endeavours.
