Some citizens are questioning why Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa must continue using the official platform for Ghana Education Service (GES) to send appreciation message to the public a day after his position was terminated by President Akufo-Addo with immediate effect. Apexnewsgh.com report Some of the messages in the comment box who couldn’t pretend being happy or hide his feelings said: “Masa, wasn’t your termination of secondment with immediate effect? Why are you still using GES official page? He asked “You’re way above the retirement age going back to KNUST means nothing. The old shouldn’t be interested in offices in the name of re-engagement.Thanks for your service” Below is Mr. Amankwa’s full appreciation message Good morning Directors and Staff of GES , I believe most of you have sighted/read the letter from HE the President terminating my Secondment from KNUST to GES and asking me to go back to KNUST. Some of you may also be waking up to the news this morning. I have and continue to receive your calls and numerous messages. I have not been able to pick your calls or reply to your messages due largely to the shear volumes. What gladdens my heart is that the messages are not dirges but goodwills and prayers and very soothing and reassuring messages. I wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone of you for your dedication and the extremely good work relationship that existed between us. I highly appreciate your unfathomable love to me. We worked as a team and together we’ve changed the face of not only pretertiary education but also GES. You supported me in many ways to enhance my resumé to bring it to a distinguishing first class, world class CV. And I am highly grateful to you all. I leave you with a verse from my favourite and guiding hymn: MBH 602 by Anna Laetitia Waring: Father, I know that all my life is portioned out for me,And the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see;But I ask Thee for a present mind intent on pleasing Thee. MAY YOU ALL STAY BLESSED. 🙏🙏🙏 Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa Source: Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana For publication please kindly contact us on 0256336062 or Email: apexnewsgh@gmail.com
Just In: Prof Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa appointment terminated
Prof Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), appointment has been terminated. According to a letter issued from the Office of the President on Monday, October 17, 2022, “The Ministry of Education has informed this Office that the exigencies that required your skills and expertise as Director-General of the Ghana Education Service do not exist any longer”, the letter said. The letter further said, having been appointed in April 2017, specific reference was however made about Prof. Opoku-Amankwa’s secondment in January 2021 from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). The contract was extended again in June 2021 but this extension according to the letter was in “contravention of the Human Resource Policy Frame and manual of the Public Services Commission as it purports to extend your secondment beyond the 3-year maximum limit.” Prof. Opoku-Amankwa has been instructed to return to the KNUST. “The President thanks you for your service to the nation and wishes you the very best in your future endeavours”, the letter from the Presidency signed by the Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante, concluded. Copied in the letter are the Vice President, Chief of Staff, The Minister of Education, Board Chairperson, Ghana Education Service, the Vice Chancellor at KNUST and the Registrar of the same institution.
