President Mahama to engage CEOs of State-Owned Enterprises

The State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) has announced a landmark engagement between President John Dramani Mahama and the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and other state entities.

The high-level meeting is scheduled to take place on March 13, 2025, at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.

This historic meeting aims to provide a platform for President Mahama to outline his vision to reset, realign, and reform SOEs to operate more efficiently, transparently, and in alignment with Ghana’s broader national development goals.

The event will also be attended by senior government officials, ministers of state, and representatives from the World Bank, highlighting the critical role of strategic collaboration in driving economic development and good governance in Ghana.

One of the key highlights of the meeting will be the launch of a comprehensive “deep dive” study covering 16 strategically significant SOEs, which manage a large portfolio of Ghana’s state assets.

According to SIGA, this study aims to analyze the current state of these enterprises, identify areas for improvement, and recommend strategies for reform and transformation.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Prof. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, Director-General of SIGA, emphasized the significance of the initiative, stating:

“We are excited to facilitate this important engagement between the President and CEOs of SOEs. This meeting marks a significant step towards promoting good corporate governance, transparency, and accountability in the management of state-owned enterprises. We are confident that the outcomes of this engagement will have a positive impact on Ghana’s economic development.”

The meeting is expected to generate insightful discussions, foster partnerships, and chart a new path for SOEs to contribute effectively to the nation’s economy. It will also set the tone for a new era of collaboration between the government, SOEs, and key stakeholders, ensuring that these enterprises align their operations with national priorities and development objectives.

The deep dive study, to be launched during the meeting, is expected to serve as a key resource for shaping policy decisions and reform strategies, reinforcing SIGA’s commitment to enhancing transparency, accountability, and good governance in the management of state-owned assets.

SIGA has called on all Ghanaians to take interest in this important initiative and follow the proceedings of the meeting.
