On October 18, this year, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo terminated the January 2021 secondment of Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to the Ghana Education Service (GES) as its Director-General.
To complete the process, please follow the instructions in the email we just sent you.The Ghanaian Times is worried that the unions have added other reasons to justify their action.
If they are appealing that the convention of appointing teachers or educationists to the position must not be broken, that is understandable because it gives the hope that one day, one of them would occupy it. After all, Section 12 of the Ghana Education Service Act 1995 stipulates that the Director-General of GES shall be appointed by the President in accordance with the advice of the GES Council given in consultation with the Public Services Commission.
In fact, for Dr Nkansah to be appointed just a day after relieving Prof. Opoku-Amankwa may mean less consultation or a long-planned decision to replace him.

Calls for Ghana President's Resignation Over Economic CrisisMore than 1,000 protesters marched through Ghana's capital Accra on Saturday, calling for the resignation of President Nana Akufo-Addo amid an economic crisis that has hammered the cedi currency and seen fuel and food costs spiral to record levels. Ghana, which produces gold, cocoa and oil, has seen its currency plummet by more than 40% against the dollar this year, making it one of the worst-performing currencies in a region that is suffering from the fallout from a global economic slowdown. Clad in black and red attires, the protestors who gathered at the Obra Spot around 7am held placards with inscriptions including Ohia P3 Dede, Stop Galamsey from Flagstaff House, Protect Our Culture!!! Save Arts Centre, Protect Activists, Ghana is a Crime Scene, We Voted for Service not Opulence, and Nkrumah Never Dies. On October 30, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in an address to the nation, said: "We are in a crisis, I do not exaggerate when I say so. I cannot find an example in history when so many malevolent forces have come together at the same time. But, as we have shown in other circumstances, we shall turn this crisis into an opportunity to resolve not just the short-term, urgent problems, but the long-term structural problems that have bedeviled our economy."
