Accra: President John Dramani Mahama is set to make changes to the leadership of several state institutions as part of a broader reorganisation of his administration.
According to Ghana Web, the planned reshuffle, which will affect Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of state institutions, aims to strengthen leadership, improve coordination, and enhance performance across government. The move comes shortly after the President reshuffled his ministers and dissolved the boards of several state institutions, with the latest board dissolutions announced on September 2, 2026.
In a statement signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr Callistus Mahama, the Presidency stated that the changes were intended to ensure that government appointees remain aligned with the administration's policies and priorities. It emphasized that discipline, accountability, and effective leadership remain key expectations for Ministers, Deputy Ministers, CEOs, board members, and other political appointees.
The Presidency further urged all appointees to discharge their responsibilities with integrity, diligence, and humility, while adhering to established administrative procedures and supporting the effective implementation of government policies. It cautioned that conduct undermining government cohesion, institutional authority, or the implementation of government programmes would not be tolerated.
The statement also reminded appointees that public office is a privilege and carries a responsibility to serve the Ghanaian people. The performance of government appointees across all sectors will continue to be assessed as the administration seeks to improve its effectiveness and responsiveness. "The President will take any further action necessary to safeguard the integrity, effectiveness, and responsiveness of his Administration," the statement said.
Meanwhile, the Presidency has urged all appointees to cooperate with the ongoing reorganisation and remain focused on delivering the government's mandate.
In a notice to all ministers and political appointees, it reiterated the President's firm resolve to maintain discipline, accountability, and effective leadership across all sectors of government. The recent ministerial changes and the dissolution of selected boards, together with the impending reshuffle of Chief Executives, reflect the President's determination to strengthen institutional leadership and ensure alignment with the Government's policies and priorities. All appointees are expected to cooperate and commit as they work together to deliver the Government's mandate and improve the lives of the Ghanaian people.
