President John Dramani Mahama has officially commissioned 11 new envoys to represent Ghana as Ambassadors and High Commissioners in countries around the world, marking a new chapter in Ghana’s diplomatic outreach.
The swearing-in ceremony, held in Accra on Wednesday, October 1, followed the granting of agrément by host countries throughout September 2025. The newly appointed envoys, all non-career diplomats, were handpicked to advance Ghana’s interests abroad under the current administration.
Among those commissioned were:

Mr. Magnus Kofi Amoatey – Ambassador to Congo
Mr. Benedict Batabe Assorow – Ambassador to the Holy See (Vatican)
Prof. Mrs. Esi Awuah – Ambassador to Switzerland
Mr. Mohammed Abubakari Manaf – Ambassador to Benin
Each envoy received a presidential instrument of commission, formally empowering them to assume their diplomatic posts and begin their service. President Mahama’s selections reflect a renewed focus on strengthening bilateral relations and advancing Ghana’s foreign policy priorities.
The newly commissioned envoys are tasked with promoting Ghana’s political, economic, and cultural interests while building deeper cooperation and partnerships for mutual development with their host countries.
