Dr. Randy Abbey, a journalist and football administrator, has been appointed Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD).
This was stated in a letter from the Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama, on Tuesday, January 21, 2025.
“I write to formally inform you that His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana under Article 195(1) of the Constitution and Section 12(2) of the Ghana Cocoa Board Act, 1984 (P.N.D.C.L 81) has appointed you as the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board pending receipt of the Constitutionally required advice of the Board of Ghana Cocoa Board, in consultation with the Public Services Commission,” according to the letter.
This comes after the resignation of former CEO Joseph Boahen Aidoo, which was announced earlier this month.
