Prof. Gyampo, a renowned academic from the University of Ghana’s Political Science Department, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. With over two decades in academia, he has established himself as a leading expert in governance, leadership, and democratic development. His appointment was formally confirmed in a letter delivered by Dr. Calistus Mahama, Executive Secretary to the President.
As the new Acting CEO of GSA, Prof. Gyampo is expected to leverage his expertise to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of Ghana’s shipping industry. His vision for the GSA is likely to focus on promoting transparency, accountability, and sustainability in the maritime sector.
Prof. Gyampo’s impressive academic background and research experience make him an ideal candidate for this role. Born on March 31, 1977, in Accra, he has risen through the ranks to become a Professor of Political Science and the Founding Director of the Centre for European Studies at the University of Ghana.
As he assumes his new position, Prof. Gyampo is expected to work closely with stakeholders to address the challenges facing the shipping industry in Ghana. His appointment has been welcomed by many, who see him as a breath of fresh air in the maritime sector.
