Yoofi Grant, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), has clarified reports regarding his tenure, stating that his contract officially ended on December 30, 2024.
Speaking to 3news.com, he revealed that he handed over responsibilities to the GIPC Board and an interim management team on his final day in office.
“My contract ended on 30th December, and that was my last day at work,” Mr. Grant confirmed in the interview. “So this information is false. Please tell them to correct it.” He emphasized that he had not been involved with the agency since his departure, addressing misinformation about his continued association with the GIPC.
Mr. Grant, who was appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in February 2017, also disclosed that Dr. George Asafu-Adjaye, a member of the interim management team, has been appointed to act as CEO pending the appointment of a substantive head by the new government.
“I handed over to an interim management team under the supervision of the board, and one of the management, Dr. George Asafu-Adjaye, was appointed to act subject to the appointment of a substantive CEO by the [new] government,” he explained.
Renowned for his expertise as an investment banker with over 30 years of experience in banking and finance, Mr. Grant leaves a legacy of steering the GIPC toward promoting Ghana as a leading investment destination.
His clarification puts to rest speculation about his sack from GIPC and ensures transparency regarding the leadership transition at GIPC.
