The CEO of Telecel Ghana, Accra
The Managing Director of AT Ghana, Accra
The CEO of Scancom PLC (MTN Ghana) Limited, Accra

“I bring you compliments of the season and wish you a Happy New Year! Since 2017, I have been privileged to work with you as the Director General of the National Communications Authority (NCA). During this time, the communications industry has undergone significant changes and faced challenges that we collectively overcame through hard work,” the letter read.
“I have been honoured to work with you on numerous projects that have enhanced the communications industry, ensuring satisfaction for government, investors, and consumers alike. As you are aware, the government is transitioning, and it is time for me to step down as the Director General of the NCA,” he added.
“Before the appointment of a new Director General, I wish to officially inform you that I am embarking on my terminal leave, effective January 7, 2025, and will be handing over to my two Deputy Directors General.
